I bought the car in June but production month is February (factory paint is almost 8 months old). I wax it regularly.

I don't know, I guess I'm worried about them blending the new fender with a perfectly good door if it's not needed. Just wanted to get your thoughts. Is paint blending ALWAYS necessary? or is it just for old cars?
Yes, unless you want an obvious repair.
