To spray or not to spray... that is the question

Sounds like a poor job if they didn't match or blend the panel.

You have a beautiful Boxster. It seems to be your pride and joy, something you take great care of. This is not your daily driver but something you enjoy driving on occasion. I get it. I have two Porsches, one I drive every day and the other one is my Garage Queen. The daily driver does not get the attention that the Garage Queen enjoys. I have put a lot of money into the Garage Queen, way more than I will ever recoup. It has not been resprayed but when the time comes, many road chips on the front bumper and Frunk Lid, I won’t hesitate to open the wallet. So to answer your question… Personally would get it painted.

Thanks for your kind words, this is my daily driver and it even lives outside.

I have a speed yellow 2000 S also, it hides dirt well. I would not improve the paint so that you can drive the car anywhere, anytime,& anyway you want without worrying about rock chips & parking outside in England.

You love the car. It's in great shape otherwise. It's a garage queen. If you've got the quid... Yes. Get it painted.

Why do you post such huge images? Can't quite find the time to navigate your pictures, and it's a (royal) pain in the butt to try to reply.

Nothing about my size 7 font?

I tried size 99, but, that didn't work.

They did blend the base coat and you cannot see where the fix was but the clear has made made the yellow fresher looking against the door.

The problem is you have new paint next to 20 year old faded paint.

Seems like the higher up the car the more the paint has faded. When i had the cill painted due to a small dent its matched all the way along as the car hasn't faded that low down
