Christopher's zip tie trick works if you reinforce the base first.

But come on, is blending paint for every tiny dent REALLY needed? If the color match is perfect, why waste time on extra steps? I've seen plenty of jobs where skipping the blend looked just fine. Your team might be used to doing it one way, but that doesn't make it the only way. This feels like making a big deal out of nothing. Trust your eye and save the effort for when it actually matters.

But isn't that kind of what humans do too? We show up somewhere new and completely change the place to suit us, wiping out whatever was there before.

Check if the wet spot feels oily or just wet. Condensation is common, especially in humid places. Real coolant leaks often have an oily feel because the refrigerant carries oil. You can use soapy water on the spot to see if bubbles form, which means a leak. Also, listen for a hissing sound from the fridge lines. Mistaking condensation for a leak can lead to unnecessary repairs.
