well iv finally picked the car up...he has done a better match but still not right. Ahwell, im going to have to either pay him to respray the rest of the car to match or take it somewhere else to be done...either way it wont be happening until at least spring

its hard to say without posting up a pic...when its wet you cant notice the colour difference but when dry you can see the difference

Least youve got the Welsh winter weather, so it prob wont stay dry much Did they offer a discount on spraying the rest of the car? I would have not been a happy bunny, especially after they had your cap to match it off...

to be honest it looked spot on yesterday due to the rain..but as its been dry today iv noticed the mis-match colours....i might go back again and show him and like you say see if he will give me a discount to do the rest in the future..need to sort the exhaust and suspension first though

doesn't look like it no..the left side is a perfect example..the rear quarter, rear door and passenger door look spot on, but he hasn't touched the wing so therefore you notice the colour difference. However the right hand side of the car does look better, almost unnoticeable..seems to me the car will never be the same colour all round unless i get a total respray or get him to spray the rest of the car
