then I must be more picky than others cause I sure as hell dont want 2 different shades of black on my car as for who did my car, well the color contrast is the least of the botched job that I have complains about. Remember though, the rockers are sitting on top of the doors so you see the contrast a lot more then you would in another case. IDK, I just know I can see it 'only in the sun' and at certain angles. I'm sure you'd be able to see it at your bodyshop if you really wanted to and looked real hard. 2 different colors are 2 different colors right?
