Take her back! And again, and again until they get it right!
If they won't do it again in this day of social media you have all sorts of leverage but try being nice first. There is no way they can say they think that is OK.
If this was 1988 I would just say throw a bra on it but that don't play no more.

I also noticed the paint had the "orange peeling" affect... need to make sure that is taken care of.

It's white!!!!
Look at the last pic, the difference between the bumper and hood on either side of the dividing line is substantial.

The bumper looks a lot brighter than the hood. At least I think brighter is the way to put it

Sort of a bluer tone which makes it look brighter.

Correct... the angles I took on my phone aren't as good as they should be. From my point of view it was quite obvious that the color didn't match, but I can see why people may have a hard time seeing a difference now that I am on my computer.

It is definitely a lot "whiter" in color, closer to that of the new Halo I would say rather than the "satin" white pearl. Yeah main different can be seen from the hood to the bumper.

Here is an sample of halo next to whiteout.
You can tell which is which by the antenna (halo is shark fin).
I wonder if they got the wrong paint. They picked up the "white" for 2015 instead of 2014...?

Yup yup.. I checked out that thread to see the comparisons and the paint definitely looks closer to a Halo white rather than a Satin White. However, I know they are trying to match Satin white because 1) it is on the invoice, and 2) they mentioned it to me when I was talking about the painting process

I almost said that the bumper looked closer to halo, I'm quite familiar with that colour haha. But I wasn't sure how many people on here would have seen halo in person

I got my hood repainted in halo in one try. I heard whiteout is just hard to match. Sorry to see that happen to your baby. My hood ate debris thrown by kids. I'm just glad your safe and your baby is back and running
