Default DAMN, Im bummed

i shaved my tailgate, the second one ive ever done, its straight as arrow, clear layed out super smooth, wet sanded it, cut and buffed it, put it on the truck, AND THE DUMB BITCH THAT MIXED MY PAINT SCREWED UP!!!. My truck is 59u, silver birch met., well the paint is pewter, not just a little off, WAY off. Other than the color bein off, it looks great, but im seein as material lost, paint, PPG 2021 clear plus reducer and hardner. It looked fine when i was painting it, just frustrating as hell.......
i will post pics tomm in the daylight

if its straight now, it'll be straight after you get done painting it again. Let it cure for a few days, then sand it down and respray it. We get crap like this all the time. So most of the time we'll spray a template
