Repaint problem part only or color sand entire car?

[monaco]

Hi guys, first post. I picked up a CPO Infiniti G35 the other day, and as part of my purchase package my dealer has offered to either repaint the trunk lid or color sand the entire vehicle. There are some deep, visible scratches on the back of the trunk lid, and various other scratches elsewhere on the car. The main problem is definitely the trunk lid though.

They said with touch up paint and color sand i'll still be able to see the scratches on the trunk a bit... only the full repaint would take them out 100%. I asked a service tech and he said go for the color sanding. The car is pretty new at 26k miles but I am concerned about a repainted trunk matching the rest of the car, a problem the full body color sand wouldn't have. I'm also concerned about a mediocre color sanding job ending up looking worse than the factory finish.

I don't know enough about detailing to know the benefits and risks of either choice... any ideas?

Thanks!

Repaint the trunk, it'll match the car fine. I just had to get a new bumper and get it painted because of an accident, but the rest of the car looks just fine with it on ('03 Civic, 60k miles).
