Doesn't look that bad to me... take it back and complain, though. If you can get them to repaint it, that's good. Otherwise, I would just live with it.

Okay...

So this color thing has been eating at me since I got the car back. Ive been telling myself its okay.. but I am screaming NO inside.

Today I was joke of my co-workers... asking me why I had a 2 toned car...etc..

So I called the bodyshop. Explained that I am just not happy with the paint match and that Its really bothering me. He explains that pearl white is hard to match and that painting the plastic is always hard...BUT he wants to have a satisfied customer and to bring the car back Tuesday and he will repaint it. He said that will give him time to shoot different levels of pearl on panels there match to old bumper to figure out the best match. (I wish he had done that the first time) But we will see next week!

That's a good customer service I'm glad that your bodyshop is taking care of you.
