Looks good!
How was the repair done? Standard would be pound/pull out, some filler, paint whole fender.
I have a similar dent, but self-inflicted. Deeper, but paint intact. Paintless dent guy gave up after failing to even budge it with his tools, noting that tempered aluminum is almost impossible to work out. I went to Home Depot and got a stronger tool (1" pipe and rubber caps). Worked the dent out myself about 98%. Ripples are noticeable in sunlight. Reputable body shop wanted $500 to finish, but was going to spray 2-stage paint on the whole fender. My original paint is single stage. Bought a matching, nice, used fender from 928 intl.

They heated it and rolled it out. the paint process did not include the top of the fender. they sprayed the side with a blend. I can see the difference but unless you knew about the damage(witch was minor) you would never see it. the Clear coat makes it look newer on the fender area.....
