flame red by any cahnce?
i got a yreg corsa c. got my wings and bonnet painted along with bodykit.
at certain anlges u can see slight differences. its due to it being red an shit.
at night ur pannel wil not match at all. IE: it will look a diff colour all together under streeet lights an that.
hope this kind helps.
ps:might also be due to fact that ur car may have faded slightly ..so a perfect match will be hard.

try get hold of a "buff" ie>>a polisher that they use in bodyhshops and get ur surrounding panels or the whole car polished up with this..
u could also use G3 to blend the colours in....its kinda like a harder t-cut...
but i thinki'm right in saying that u will never have a perfect match.

u can only tell under street light.
take a pic when it is dark without a flash on ur camera and u will probably see wat panel has been done.
u cant see mine dutring the day, but when it is dark at night and the car is sitting under a street lgiht u can see wat panels have bene ddone.
