^^ this... once the paint is dry it is what it is as far as color goes. Curing won't change the color at all. I'd take it back or ask for my money back to take it to another shop to fix properly.

hey, im getting my M5 Tech bumper and side skirts painted this week and i went to no less than 15 shops to get a good deal and make sure that the people in charge were gonna guarantee my happiness once it was all complete. they should at a minimum respray it and try to blend the panels to your liking.... good luck figuring it all out!

11 or 12 to be exact. Took two saturdays with my seats down and the parts in the back. I'm
Frugal...half the fun is shopping for a great product/deal at the lowest price.
But then again ur talking to a guy who bought his M5 Tech bumper & side skirts for less than $400 total (shipped). So it's all worth the hassle to me you know?
I got prices for paint & install ranging from $300 to $1100. I think I settled on a good shop at a great price...
