ᐅ Facade repaired. Cracks were filled with compound. Is this acceptable?

Hello,

Cracks on the facade were filled with a compound (the bulge, straight line, visible in the photos). Afterwards, the facade was painted up to the middle with the same color to save on scaffolding costs.

The painter says the color is identical (I trust him for now). He also mentioned that over time, due to weathering, the new paint will blend with the old (the house is 3 years old). Is it true that the transition will then not be visible?

Regarding the bulge, he says nothing can be done. Renewing the entire facade would be too expensive and not proportional.

Would you accept both of these? Does the color really even out?

Uh… well, not paying more than necessary is fine. The real question is: what is necessary? What does it look like if it’s only half painted? Who would paint just half a wall inside? I find that unacceptable and wouldn’t want to leave it like that; it would annoy me every time I looked at it. As for the legal situation, I have no idea.

I believe it will never even out.
The dirt buildup that the older section accumulated over the 3 years will continue to progress, and the other section will always lag behind by those same 3 years.
