Cant match factory exterior Yellow?

The reason it doesnt match is because you need to compensate for the 8 years its been out in the sun and faded, so taking the exact color code is going to look how it did when the truck was new which isnt going to match compared to the 8 year old paint around it Im sure, i have to believe any shop would know this as the computers have a formula to compensate for life of vehicle to get a good match. Anyway, good luck thats a bummer and reallly freakin' annoying im sure.

I did consider that possibility but I have never known paint to get darker with age. The new paint is many shades lighter than the original....but just maybe in 8 years it will catch up to the color I have now? But then again, my truck will probably be orange by that time....LOL.Thanks for the input.

No problem, keep ordering the same paint.
