The only reason they would have painted the front or rear panels would have been to blend the color. Any color should be blended to make for a seamless repair.

Not overkill. Only seems like overkill to people who aren't in paint and body. It's the only way to "correctly" repair damage like that. It's possible they could have spot blended that area and re-cleared the door but an experienced eye could very likely pick it out.

If there even is any overspray you'll have to live with it- or remove it. But it's not exactly a collectors car where a future buyer is going to care. Dealer cost shouldn't necessarily be an indicator of quality- many have in house paint shops and that cost is just their overhead.
