Two pics of the scratch below (much worse in person) and the paint mismatch... As you can see there is a yellow-tint to the driver door vs the quarter panel (original factory). I'm not going to take the car in its current state and I never expected a perfect match, but this is a bit excessive IMO. I've yet to see the car in person, but I think the mismatch is quite obvious in the picture.





Could you share which body shop you got the $580 quote for Alpine white door repaint? Is it based in the DC area?
