Almost seems like the new paint doesnt have enough silver metallic pearl, when the sun hits the new paint it doesnt lighten up as much as the OEM paint.
On a cloudy day it looks almost perfect match, when its sunny out tho i can see the difference from 20-30ft away.
you should try whiteout they can't even get it right from the factory. Just got mine back, not perfect, but it works. I'm not about to let them blend. I want as little paint work done on the car as possible.
