Paint results appear to vary with the shop used.  I was rear-ended in DC a
while back in my pearl '89 200TQ.  My local mom'n'pop paint shop made an
absolutely fantastic match on the repaint job.  The repaint is totally
indistinguishable from the original paint.

BTW, if matching is so difficult, it might be worthwhile for you to bring
your car here for such work.
