Repaint?

Hi guys,
now my car is fully wrapped in black carbon, but i'm thinking going back to my silver paint. Problem is the paint have some spot that need to be redone. Some scratches and things like this. So i need some opinion about:
Repaint the whole car,
Just repairs the spots and reclear the whole car or,
Same thing but using a special clear to do something different?

Pretty much impossible to spot fix silver without blending the whole panel.

Resprsy or do a silver wrap. Repainting a panel you have to blend into the next panel so unless u dont mind ur panels being slightly shaded different then u would have to respray.

There it is, unless on this pics it's not fully finished and i changed some things since this time, like a set of megan racing coilovers, new mags, and redid all the trim in black carbon instead of orange carbon. And i added this on the hood:

It was my first full car, i never wrapped something else before, so there's some default, but i'm thinking of repainting like i said, but i'm looking at an other wrap, than can be a solution to the repaint....this time i would wrap it better and maybe have a professionnal helping me.

What do you guys think about it?

I agree with you, but had the material for real cheap and it's real ViVid, so a good material, but now i'm thinking about going with my original idea, satin white, or maybe an other color, but i'm not sure about it, do you have some ideas?

Repaint car:
Chromobase for the basecoat color
SPI Universal clear for the clearcoat

If you do get orange peel you can always buff it out...
