It is absolutely impossible to restore a car to factory original condition. Car manufacturers spend 100’s of millions on computer and robotic paint systems. Autobody repairers will get it good enough to satisfy customers but most customers aren’t knowledgeable enough about the repair process to be unsatisfied.
