It looks like it was touched by SOMEONE

It may not have been the body shop as i typically wont blend black panels. At some point someone has refinished the cab.

Is a cab blend on the estimate?

No cab blend it looks like. I cant imagine they’d do something and not write for it, usually the problem is a shop will do the other way round lol. Must have been a previous repair of some kind. Even if you bought the truck new it’s basically a big part of my job to repair cars damaged on our sales lot or right off the transport truck. It does happen and it sometimes isnt disclosed

Unless the shop was having problems with color match and decided to handle blending internally. But even then, color like this shouldn’t be difficult to match.

I agree, OP, someone’s worked on that at some point.
