i just got my fender back from the shop painted milano red, and is not matching that well. is kind of darker if you look at it closly. what do i do to make it match? wax? ive hear milano red are the hardest to match.
BEFORE:

AFTER:

 

is the fender wet sanded and buffed yet?? it looks shiney but if its still orange peely then you can wet sand it, and the color usually gets lighter after you do that.. good luck
btw who color matched it for you? "Shop"

 

yeah the old paint is probably a bit faded. Im not sure what you can do.

 

Get it repainted and leave the car at the shop to paint it on the car.
They might have to blend the door with some color
That color is not hard to match

 

how old is the other paint on the car? if its a big difference, the new paint will look darker obviously cause the original faded

 

the paint is 1 yr old, i got it paint at 1day where i got my car painted. the the paint is still new, didnt do anything to it yet.

 

from the pics, i really can't see the difference.

look at the last pic the fender is a little darker. iis alot easier seeing it in person

 

maybe when you put on the fender molding and the bumper it'll look like it matches. its just a big red piece rightnow and its probably fooling your eyes

usually, the paint shop reccomends that you bring the car in, so they can blend the colors

 

yup. If you would have taken the car in they would have painted part of the door and it would have most likely matched.

 

thats because red is hard to match, on top of that, in real cases at a shop, they would blend into the door and the hood for a fender job....

yeah ur car is a little faded...making the new fender look alot different...

 

it requires blending for it to match well...it's One Day paint, can't expect everything to come out right, quality comes at a price.

One a side note, I think you should take those door stickers off with that Dual Port DX engine

 

def. looks like your old paint is just faded so the new fender looks off...

 

oxidation dude....get a good polish and wax job befor painting...it may help a bit.

wats wrong with that? my motor is not in yet.

 

you can have the shop paint the door and the hood to blend in with the new fender...it's just that the rest of the car already faded

very true, it happens after the age of the car. good luck in figuring out what your going to do.
