Body shop used mismatching paint!
Had some body work done a couple weeks ago, wasn't until yesterday that I noticed this:
Am I being unreasonable in wanting a matching paint job? |

its really tough to match AW and based on the picture, it looks like the mismatch is due to the "aging" of your original AW paint. not sure what could be done with it now but worth a try asking them to fix it.

Unacceptable....any decent body shop has a camera they use to match the color or with a set of color chips. Light source is a factor too....it may look like it matches in the shop under fluorescents but what matters is sunlight. Take it back and let your insurance co know you're not satisfied.
