I opted for non metallic on the car I have now. The default solid

A friend of mine has had to get a ford door changed and some dents

this is not the first time I've heard how hard it is to get
metallic effect paint fixed without respraying the whole thing.

Glad I'll never drive, honestly...

Just be glad it wasn't the green/purple colour that Ford had as an
option for a while in the US. Version are now available aftermarket,
but can you imagine trying to repair damage to one?
