The biggest challenge when paint matching is the owner's brain. You know the paint is different so will always "see" the difference even when there is none.
Whenever I had a section of a car painted I would always ask somebody that didn't know what area had been done where the new paint was. If they can't tell then I called it good enough even if it seemed to stand out like a beacon to me. I think in all the times I did that I had one person ever notice the difference.
