No idea what a "lifetime warranty for color" is. But any repainted panels on a car can be spotted no matter how well it was done. There's not only color matching, but also the sheen of the frozen clear and the texture that's almost impossible to get 100%. With repaint, bodyshop will wetsand and polish as nothing out of the booth will be perfect (dusts, runs, blending). You just can't do that with frozen paint.
To add to this, i am fairly certain an experienced detailer with an paint thickness gauge can easily tell. As far as i understand, the factory painted sections might be 5-7mil and the repainted sections might be 10+mil.
