If you never get the repairs to look as good as original, you are going to the wrong shop. Exceptional work- not according to an insurance adjusters estimate- but truly fine work can duplicate any factory paint. (thickness excepted).

Good luck
Looking at the first picture and now the second one I still see no creases or seams. You are right though! if there were any creases or seams, cracked or pealed paint PDR does NOT work. But again looking at the pictures it is a perfect candidate for PDR. Anyways I don't know the area where you live but here in SoCal PDR is very inexpensive. You could for sure try and see, if you don't like it you could always go back to full paint job.
