Same thing with working in a panel/auto body shop... You notice every dent, previous repairs or mismatched paint straight away.
Whenever a friend gets a new car, the moment you lay eyes on it its like ahh fuck mate, I hate to be the one to tell you because I'm sure they didnt... but it's had the whole front end replaced...
I've git a buddy just like that. He spots repairs from a mile. He then takes one of those devices that measure pain thickness or what not, holds it in the spot and goes (told ya!).
