That's going to be a tough one to fix if you're not too experienced with body work since it's so close to the "body line"

To answer your question, yes you'll be able to notice that it was resprayed unless you respray your whole back quarter-panel and even then, it'll most likely look newer than the rest of the car.

If you want it to look new again, i'd suggest taking it to a reputable paint and body shop. Although i must say, i've seen some paint-less dent repair places pull off some AMAZING things so that might be another thing to look into, but with that size of a crease, it'll cost you a pretty penny at either place.

But none the less it'll be a good project for ya, if you decide to do it yourself.
Good luck
