I would assume his lifetime guarantee means if anything he did screws up he will fix it. A chip or scratch in the paint is not one of his screwups. That stuff is a bitch to match . Two people might have entirely different opinions of what looks OK to them. I did a frame off resto on a 69 Z28 a few years ago. I brought the sheetmetal to the painter and had all the jambs sprayed them took them back and hung them on the car. I brought the car back to the painter and they did the final alignment of the sheetmetal and painted the car. When I go to pick up the car it turns out he is pissed at himself for leaving a fender bolt loose. He opened the passenger door and popped the paint on the leading edge of the door where it hit the fender that was sticking out. I said don't worry, just brush touch the spot and rub it. He wants it perfect so he is going to spot paint it. I come back and the door is another color. He then reshoots the entire side of the car. By now the paint has the thick look, all my plated fender bolts are painted Lemans blue and there is overspray under the car. He thought the car looked great, I hated the car and sold it to a friend that ended up repainting it. It is just two peoples different opinions on what is nice. Kandy looks killer on a trailer queen but if you are going to put miles on the car it will get chipped or scratched at some point. If it were my car with candy paint and it got chipped I would probably just leave it as is before trying to get it matched just to avoid anything happening along the lines of what happened to my car.
