I feel the pain, My Vette is a 2002 MY, It is in the shop now and having the same problem, and this is a Corvette Specialty shop. Color does not match.

Yea, I think that's what they're going to do. They seem very willing to work with me.

At this point I'm honestly more worried about the wind noise it has that I posted about a few posts up. It's definitely not the window seal which is the only wind noise complaint I could find from searching.

Sorry about your luck Dave, hope you get it solved. But as others have posted it's a common thing apparently. I honestly don't notice any variation in my paint but, I am weird so who knows?

I was just saying some painters may not be able to do it because it is a very tough color. I have no experience with it myself, but I know a couple of high end painters who have shot it and they say that stuff is a headache.

If they are willing to try, why not. Its not that hard doing base/ clear coat painting. Easy to redo and fix. Not like the old days by a long shot.

Scary...I'm going through this right now but I'm being told by the shop they have absolutely no problems doing a great paint match. It goes in Monday...
