do dealers not want to sell?

Worth respraying car?
I've owned my sportscar for about a year now and I've noticed that it's had some new paint at some point in the past. It has slightly different shades of metallic blue on it which shows up in certain lights. It's a shame as the rest of the car is pretty much spot on. It's mechanically good and paintwork is all straight. I…
