Painting Bumpers

Just wondering if this happened to any of y'all... I have a Satin Silver 01 civic EX. I got both my bumpers painted at different places at different times. Both times the paint looked like it had way to much yellow in it or not enough blue. If i get something else painted do you think they will match? This happen to anyone else?

Did the shop mix the paint? Or did you buy it yourself?

got the same thing here.. the reason is that most paintshops simply go by the color code,

if u go by the color code it doesnt mean that the colors will match.

Look for a place that doesnt go by that shittie rule, i found one yesterday and they explained this to me.. this place where i will repaint my body kit will match the exact color without the color code...
