Repainted car

Hey guys,
If you get your whole car painted, how long does it take for the paint to settle in and actually reach its full potential? I have an IP Coupe and the color seems a little bit off, just wondering if it will actually change over time?

Thanks.

Color doesn't change over months, but years. If the color is off now, its going to stay off, but if they painted the whole car, are only parts of it off? Its pretty common to have the bumpers to have a slight different shade due to the material
