new paint

I had to get my passenger side fender replaced and repainted (tire company damaged it while changing tires.. they paid for everything). My TL-S is WDP. You know how the OEM underbody spoiler is a bit whiter in color from the rest of the body? The fender seems similar to this color, so now it is a bit different than the rest of the body. Maybe cuz its just new paint and the car is 2 years old. Is there a way I can do something about this? The fender is so clean and it shines TOO much at night compared to the rest of the car... its like glowing... i can tell the different in the daytime also... not liking it...

I thought i was the only one that notice the OEM kit is a little different color than the rest of the body. Mine seems bluer.

You'll notice the difference between metal & urethane. When you look at your rear bumper & 1/4 panel or front bumper & fender, you'll see the difference. But if they repaint the fender & see the difference on door or hood, they did terrible color matching.

and they have to blend adjacent panel for color match, too.
