Sorry guys not sure what you can or cannot see but that colour is off.

Look at where the rocker panel touches the wheel well. its not a mirage, that paint is off. Shouldve had the door and 1/4 blended with the rocker if it were me

If you like entering it in Concours then you could fret about it, otherwise its no big deal.

If it was me and its still bothersom then obscure it with a Boxster sticker.

If you need to change your focus and perspective to get past it then read the IMS Failure threads and all the wonderful modes of failure for your engine.

Also watch some of the Boxster track racing videos in the Race forum. I did that during a break today and you should have seen how I drove the Boxster on my way home.
Puts your head into a whole different space where paint colors and rainbows give way to growling engines and adrenaline.

Oh Christ, somehow looking at this again onto a cheap Surface tablet out of a dark and dreadful hotel room makes it all obvious. That last picture you posted makes it clear that this is not a 'reflection' issue. Looking right inside the wheelwell where there is no light bouncing and the paint mismatch huge.

I'm afraid you need to go back to your painter. This indeed needs fixing (you weren't crazy loll)

Insulted; somehow looking at your thread off a $2500 SONY UHD monitor with a 14 bit look-up table calibration feature doesn't cut it. Hope I kept the receipt for that thing :/
