Thanks for everyone's replies.
Rareair, I see that your car is dark blue. Is it metallic in color ? I went back today and they did agree that the color on my original paint looks more 'yellow' than what they color matched. It's most prominent right where the bumper and fenders meet, so they are going to do some blending.
The GT3 skirts don't look so bad...but I just can't get over the front bumper. It looks really silver, not arctic silver. They were telling me that metallic paints are tricky because the color will change slightly in certain angles, which I can see.
Here's a pic. In bright sunlight it looks fine. It's just during overcast or cloudy days where I really notice a difference.
I just don't know enough about the trade to understand what they are explaining to me. They mentioned that they used the best paint out there. It was BASF stuff, but I wasn't sure what kind.
All I know is that it doesn't match 100% and I'm not 100% happy.

If your paint refinisher can't match it, he's not the guy to go to in the first place.
