If you are not totalley happy with the paint you should take it back and get then to do the job properly after all they have been paid to do a proper job and i'm sure that if the shoe were on the other foot they would do the same !!

if the bodyshop is worth its salt, they shouldn't have let it go without it being spot on anyway......
AFAIK you can change the sahde just by the techniques used and the conditions etc etc so that may have a factor...not 100% tho...

Looks good, agree with everyone else though, go back to the bodyshop and ask them to reasses their opinion of the colour match, see if they agree that the shade is off. They may swear black is white and that the colour match is fine, but its got to be worth seeing what they say.
reputations are everything in this game, no company can afford to have a dis-satisfied customer.

- Paint colour does not match rest of car.
- Spoiler has two colours of green and a white patch on passenger side corner.
- Spoiler paint is cracking on drivers side near the top.
- Paint is thin on rear spoiler top and rear edge.
- Door handles too dark and finish is orange peely.
- Bonnet colour is too dark.
- Crack in the paint in front of passenger side bonnet scoop.
- Paintwork on bonnet mopped through in front of drivers side scoop.
- Driver’s side scoop has chips in paint.
- Driver’s side scoop has a scratchy finish.
- Main bonnet sccop has white visible under front edge.
- All scoops are a different colour from bonnet.
- Bonnet has lots of little pits in it (small white dots/holes)
- Splitter is too dark and between the splitter and bonnet, bumper stands out considerably.
- Splitter needs a neat bead of sealant where it joins bumper to tidy it up.
- Top few inches of wings need painting to blend in new paintwork on bonnet.
- Grille is not fixed to car properly.
- Headlights wired incorrectly (inner should only come on when high beam is on
and they do not adjust up and down when button in car is used, they are adjustable headlights, the switch for this is in the middle console between both seats.)
- Overspray on fog light.
- Mesh on front grille should be black.
- Front bumper out of line on both sides.

was it an insurance funded job?
check with the Ins co of the potential of a complaint against the bodyshop.
If they will take action; let rip about how bad the bodyshop is and demand action..
IF it was personally funded;
How about a letter to the garage with photos and descriptions, and then one to the local trading standards or equivalent?
Failing that; Um, take some acquaintances in the paint trade with you, or send the boys round
