Default Paint colour matching

Is it possible that the wr blue bugeye paint of a 2001 car can not be matched perfectly,it's just that iv'e had my after market rear spoiler re- painted due to the fact it was slightly darker than the car,but the paint shop has painted it twice know and it still come's out slightly darker!! .Is there a particular way which this paint has to be sprayed / dried to get the right effect,they don't use an oven by the way. Maybe some type's of spoiler made from differant plastic's / fibreglass can't be colour coded properly?
what do ya think......

Just been back to see them,as they work to 9pm. They are gonna spray it again but this time keeping the car there so the the spray out card can be checked against the car before spraying the spoiler.Spoke to a differant sprayer this time who pinpoint's the problem being the spoiler being sprayed without a check against the car first. If they told me this in the first place i would of left the car the first time and not just the spoiler!.Oh well they say 3rd time lucky,good job they give a lifetime guarantee.
