When you look at them in the light, is it hard to find the issues?

Repairs are all the same, OEM procedures don't matter, why would you care how the repair is done?

Does this one look right to you?

In automotive collision repair and refinishing, the "hem fl**ge to hem fl**ge" rule (frequently referred to as the edge-to-edge or natural break clearcoat rule) states that clearcoat must be applied across the entire automotive panel from one folded edge (hem fl**ge) to another. It cannot be stopped or blended mid-panel. [1]
(https://rts.i-car.com/crn-123.html), [2] (https://dent-picks.com/resources/why-panel-edge-dents-are-harder-to-repair)

The industry group that formally coordinated, compiled, and established this as an accepted industry-wide standard was the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS). They first officially consolidated and published this comprehensive paint positioning in 2004 after gathering consensus and formal documentation from all major automotive paint manufacturers (including PPG, BASF, Axalta/DuPont, and Sherwin-Williams). [1] (https://rts.i-car.com/crn-123.html)

Context behind the Rule

• The Problem: Technicians previously attempted to blend clearcoat mid-panel (such as on a roof pillar) to save time and material.

• The Reason for the Rule: Paint manufacturers uniformly stated that clearcoat relies on a specific film thickness to maintain UV protection. Melting or blending clearcoat to a thin edge mid-panel inevitably leads to peeling, hazing, and finish failure over time. [1] (https://rts.i-car.com/crn-1184.html)

• The Legacy: SCRS completely updated and re-verified this standard in 2014, re-confirming that every major paint manufacturer mandates clearcoat coverage from hem fl**ge to hem fl**ge (or to the nearest natural break) to honor their lifetime paint warranties.
