They didn't mix the paint so they cant tell you if the match is going to be perfect, likely if it doesn't match they'll blame it on your paint guy for not mixing is correctly. The paint will also not be very durable, and will likely get chipped over time, just like your car paint, only worse.
They're only using the paint as a SOURCE for the color match. I'm sure they have some sort of color analyzer computer that would match it.

I stopped there this morning, he said that they would use the paint to color match the PC, and it would match perfect...my only concern is that the polished lip wont be that shiny and have a dull finish.
