    I agree with a good tech, they could make it match. The Blizzard Pearl color is a tri-stage paint job and is harder than other colors to get to match.

    I've watched a Youtube video, where they purposely mismatched the paint colour, then applied it using the blend technique, and you couldn't see the variation. They paint the damage zone, then thin the paint with clear 50/50, paint slightly further, repeat the process one or two more steps, 'till they're practically just painting clear. The gradually transition fools the eye.

    And this is down in the nether region, almost the underside of bumper, it'll be good.
