Removed a dent from my door but noticed...

I recently had a dent removed from a paintless dent repair place but noticed film mark the size of a coffee mug around the area where the dent was repaired. Is this normal? Now how do I get the original coating of the paint to look like it all blends together as if nothing happened in the dent area.

Any feedback would be appreciative

Thanks.

I think your dent guy screwed up. Have them pay to fix it.

thread jack!
Have you seen that youtube video of some people using liquid refrigerant to pop the dents out?
They heat up the dent then spray the refrigerant to pop up the dent.

the 'film' can also be swirl marks left by the PDR guy when he was buffing it after the repair
