9/10 times resprays on plastic items will be lighter or darker than on metal I dont know why but it just is, Even if you reprayed the metal it is next to witht he same batch of mixed paint it will prob not match.

I have try'd myself at work with darker primers ...ect to stop this happaning and there is no way around it! Also it depends on the colour of your car aka- some colours match better than other's like non metallic's and well ....black heh.

Now if you all think im just talkin a loada crap lol
Im a fully trained volkswagen paint technician and have been working for about 5 years now.

hope this helps you in deciding what to do but all i can see is the car would go back and you'd prob get the same results again.... sorry.

good luck!!
