Car got repaired from t-bone accident, paint dont look right

I got the car repaired from getting tboned, but the driver side door color just seems really off. Wonder what people's opinions are.

Yup, color is off. It's so bad that you can see where they try to blend it to.

That's horrible. If it looks this bad on my phone I can imagine how bad it looks in person. No way would I accept that.

silver and red are two of the hardest colors to match from what I have heard. I would take it back. Probably have to respray the whole car if you can't find a shop good enough

Man take that job back to them. I wouldn't have taken it home like that.
And to think they got paid thousands of dollars for that. Smh

Rule #1 ... never leave a service shop if you are not happy with the work. Get the mgr, owner, whoever to see what you see and agree on a course of action.

I'm usually the last to notice a bad paint job but wow that's horribly noticeable. How did you not see this in the shop?

I am pretty bad at spotting bad paint as well for some reason, but that is glaringly obvious. Definitely unacceptable.

It has to be blended. Body shop has to push your insurance company to cover that. Usually they'll only paint damaged panels but when its pearl, silver colors along those lines you will need to.
