Not at all, youāre the customer. The body shop has the paint code but there are plenty of variables that contribute to the variances.Is it ridiculous to assume a perfect match can be made between the existing paint and new paint?
It's not ridiculous, just difficult to do and requires a meticulous attention to detail to get it right. With solid colors like white, getting the color match spot on is crucial but if matched correctly, blending shouldn't be necessary. Blending is a technique used to hide the paint mismatch, and IMO should not be necessary for solid, non-metallic colors. It's just often quicker for a shop to blend rather than spend the time and waste materials to get the color perfect.Thanks for the feedback.
It's definitely one of those things where once you see it, you can't unsee it! It sounds like blending is an acceptable practice. I'll consider moving forward with that in mind.
