I like the new color better. But you can really see where the door is blended... I'd just take it back there and say its unacceptable. There are certain things

I like the new color better. But you can really see where the door is blended... I'd just take it back there and say its unacceptable. There are certain things you can look past but two different color panels is a whole diff story.

That’s what you want to tell them. Other then that most people would be like wow amazing job! But car enthusiasts are different.

Me being a painter I know how hard it is to match the color perfectly. Its not possible. No matter what it will always be different. Noticeable, sometimes you would never notice it and most people usually don’t, but its there. It needed to be lighter and blended better.

Yellow is one of the hardest colors to match and use to cover an existing color. That’s why I'd never in my life buy a yellow car.

I met with the body shop this AM and they are redoing the paint; they said it looked alright inside but admit that the match is terrible when viewed in the sun.

Hopefully, they will get it right the second time around.

I appreciate all the helpful replies from the members.

Thats what I said in my post.It is a shame the shop was closed when you saw the car because it caused you to be upset all weekend.Any reputable shop will make attempts to satisfy the customer.
Hopefully the second time around it will match.
