And it's damage which I need to repair at a body shop...
Two things, first the set of wheels is a staggered set with 7" fronts and 8" rears off a 928S4 apparently. However the PO saw it fit to put a set of 4 (garbage/made in china.) tires in the same size. Second, sometimes I have to pinch myself and remind myself I actually own this car. I love it.

Id still take a swing at it first. It honestly isnt going to get much worse from what it is...

Now, time to know how to adjust white balance :)

Eh... just super high ISO. I sort of like the way it looks. Just some quick pictures in nearly no light at f/2.0 and shutter at like 1/60th

I mean before I take it to a body shop I am the very least removing the fender and pushing that dent out to save myself some labor work. Part of the issue is I have no idea what shade of blue this is and where I can get some more of it to get the car repainted. There are a few other areas I'd like to touch up as well but the name of this blue evades me.

was it a factory color, or just a shade of blue? Plenty of shops can mix paint pretty well, so they can make it work

Not a factory color as far as I know. The original color of the car was a blue which was as close to black as you can get without being black. I guess I will have to roll the dice with a shop and see how they repaint the dent and then if I am satisfied I'll bring them the car and have them touch up some of the imperfections.

You can always ask the body shop if they can match the paint without the paint code. A confident shop shouldn't have any problems doing a paint sample to compare to the car itself.

Good to know. Will see what I can find in regards to a good body shop.

worst case, look in NJ for a body shop. Some things are cheaper over here, like gas and food.

That's the truth if I've ever heard it.

Photography protip - camera takes better pictures when the sun is out.
