I certainly don't want to be driving around with two colours....
Thoughts?

It is really tough to match old paint and even if it does match perfectly when they paint it, it will fade at different rates. The better paint shops will do a fade on the surrounding panels to make transition less noticeable. An entire paint job is very, very costly as there is tons of prep work involved. It is on the cost level of an engine swap.
