My paint match not perfect ...
Since I got my car back my eyes won't stop looking at my passenger 1/4. It is a lighter shade of yellow and is the only panel on the car that is still 100% factory paint. ... I took it back to the body shop today and they said they didn't see it. I am a perfectionist so to me it sticks out like a sore thumb. The told me to let it cure for a few weeks and the new yellow paint will lighten more. If I still think it's a problem they told me to bring it back then. Will the yellow actually lighten as it cures ... or are they pulling my leg? I have a feeling in a few weeks it will be back in the spray booth painting the 1/4 panel.

Well .. here is the only picture I have right now since it is dark here. It is hi-res ... but I don't think the subtle color difference shows up on a camera.

It will take the paint 60-90 days to fully cure. If that will lighten it up enough no one can say. My hood lightened up and it ended up being perfect.

So did it stick out like a sore thumb to you and did nobody else even notice it? I just want to make sure I should give them the benefit of the doubt and give it a while. Did you bring your's back to the bodyshop and point out the hood? Did they tell you the same thing? Thanks ..

Due to the extent of the damage due to a car wreck. The only original panels are roof, decklid and driver door and 1/4 panel. It looks like tried to blend the driver door but blended too much and just about painted the entire thing. I think that's why I see a color difference between the door and 1/4.
