Is it my eyes or the way the light is on it but that rear arch and 1/4 panel look a different colour to the door

Could of used the wrong shade... Under one paint code is several if not more shades which have a tiny bit more black or a tiny bit more yellow etc etc
If they haven't used the correct shade it will look different.... That's why a good body shop will "blend" into the next panel
This hides the fact that its a slightly different shade
If it bothers you send it back... for 800 quid your owed a flawless job...

Yeah, the sun/dust/wear probably make a difference when comparing old paint to new paint. I'll see after giving it a wash, but honestly I didn't notice any difference in real life.
Fortunately, it was the insurance who paid; for 800 quid, it would have definitely been LR flares and rock sliders imho
BTW, most of the price above wasn't labour and paint... but the two genuine plastic panels. Sheesh!

Hopefully it's the light
the quarter panel wasn't painted (metallic part of the body) ; just the plastics.
