silver is the hardest Hyundai color to match from what i remember...

but think also that ur older paint on the rest of ur car has faded... and the fresh paint is.. well.. new.

what i did to get my car to match was a total repaint when i got my kit installed

Silver is a hard colour to shoot... period, end of sentence.

When I had some accident damage (to the left-front quarter panel) repaired a couple years ago, the shop colour matched the hood and the driver's door so that the new paint matched the old, but they didn't paint the whole car. No idea what they did exactly, but maybe a good shop could tell you. (?)
