I used to own a panel beater and spray shop. When it came to aftermarket parts, the oddest thing I discovered the cheap *** parts usually fit better than the certified parts.

Also, don't let them just drop off the box and leave. Open the box and inspect the part for any damage. You would be surprised how many come through with a tweak here, a dent there or a bent corner somewhere.

Then, since you were a painter you know you know you need to cut it in first by painting the back side to match the back side of the rest of the car.

After installation, when you paint the new part you should blend in the adjoining panels as you will never get a dead color match unless your car is a true black.
