Coming from a guy going to school for auto paint, paint fades over time and now that your car is 10 yrs old, they should have done paint matching. You can't compare fresh paint to paint that is 10 yrs old. Would help if you can take a pic when its outside and the sun is hitting the paint, you can't really tell when its inside the shop. I just painted my 200SX, tried paint matching but the oem paint job was just too faded.

uNLEss you blend IP, it's going to be extremely difficult to match all that. I say effit and save up for wheels or spacers or coilovers or something like that. Being **** over aftermarket parts on a 10 year old used car seems asinine to me. Especially as it sounds like the guy hooks you up. I'm sure you didn't have to pay full pop for that paint, so just let it go...cuz really...unless you point it out, most people won't even notice.

BTW, you need spacers ASAP.
