2010 OB Paint question

Question about 2010 OB paint. I got my car out of the bodyshop last couple weeks ago, and i question my shop how come my paint look more darker than my original paint. They told me their supplier PPG sent the wrong paint , apparently there are two kinds of OB paints. One with blue tint to it and the other with a yellow tint to it. Question to everyone is this true or not? I am schedule to drop off my car on Monday for a redo.

Did your body shop use the Infiniti clear?? The "self healing type"

@TVpostsound- I don't think they use any Infiniti product clearcoat on it. I have 2010 and i don't think my is self healing paint.

@scottybegood- Maybe they did gave me a better paint , but once the sun hit my car you can see the two different shaded of black. The original paint look more like brownish black/tint of yellow black something like that.

I would have the shop repaint the car and if they can't match it, they should repaint the whole car to match.

What sections don't match? If you're talking plastic parts to metal parts, they will never exactly match. A pillar, front & rear bumper, etc. Also, as far as I know, body shops cannot apply the self healing stuff. It can only come from the factory.
