paint on body kit question

i got my kit painted by my friend. but i got the paint from a paint shop...After it was painted the white doesn't match it well together. was it the paint shop that didn't mixed it well or was it the painter who didn't mix the basemaker well. just need an opinon?

depends how bad mismatch it is. Or else is normal

I work in a dealer, and i see the new cars with different colour on bumper and the body. Of course there's a point which someone messed up, but if is slightly off i woulden't worry about it

Changu-San can only hope to improve
the only way you can get an exact match is to repaint the whole car. other wise you're gonna be a few shades off...i got my grille painted and you cant really tell, but at night if you look carfeully its off a few shades.

Paint fades through the years so it's hard to get it to match directly like Changu said unless you repaint the whole car.
