Im sure they would come up with some BS.

"We needed to take the car out. It dries the paint faster."

Some BS like that. But seriously, they better not. I'll keep you posted.

"We wanted to take in for a couple passes on the freeway; sometimes the new paint throws off the aerodynamics, but everything went good, its running great. Standard stuff... Really."

You really have to blend any color to get a perfect match. And in actuallity, you're not making them match, you're just progressing the color change so that the naked eye couldn't see the difference. It works great. Make sure they blend both fenders and the hood.

EDIT: If your body shop does not blend and add the time to the estimate as a matter of course, find yourself another body shop. Blending is an industry accepted necessary procedure.

I just got my car back and it looks great. The shop really did a good job. I was suppose to get it back on Monday but ended up getting it yesterday. The guy did tell me that they had a hard time matching the colors but they came very close. You really can't tell at all.

Bring your back and have them fix it.

They didn't take it for a spin.
