which is better someone recently hit the front of my car so with the insurance money i got, i bought a new fender, bumper, and halos along with an SS hood and spoiler, now my question is it more cost effective or "better" to paint just the needed parts and have the blending done or should i just paint the whole car? if i did the whole car it would be the same color and nothing overly fancy, just a good clean paintjob

If the rest of the car is clean then just have it blended. As long as the shop knows what they're doing you shouldn't be able to tell a difference. The only (unfortunately) pieces with factory paint left on my car is the right rear qtr and hatch/spoiler. Blends perfectly thanks to having a reputable shop. Good luck!

aight thanx, i actually went to a very reputable shop yesterday and they told me they could blend it with no problems and that my paint was in good enough condition that it was pointless to paint the whole car

exactly like stated above if your paint is in good condition just blend it. all the panels will be getting recleared anyways so everything will look nice and fresh.
