I had a paint job done a while back and the shop told me it would cost more to remove it, so I agreed to let them mask it. They said they would tape it with extra care, but when I got my car back, there was overspray on the trim and the lines were not straight. I regret it til this day. If your damage is far some from the molding, a shop could possibly spot paint it and just clear coat the area and use a blender to melt the the new clear into the preexisting clear coat. Even so, it's still considered a hack job (no warranty) and a reputable shop tends to stay away from doing that, they prefer to blend the base coat and clear coat the whole panel.

thanks for response. The color match for my quarter is not perfect but def not too bad (most people won’t notice) but theres zero “rippling” or peeling of clear coat so idk what people are talking about tbh
