This vehicle had it’s DEALER ORDERED touch up paint applied for more than a year. As you can see, the color is gray instead of black. The customer said it looked right when he applied it but it faded over time. It was applied in two stages (color then clear). We were able to remove all of the touch up, reface the damage, fill the whole in the bumper and re-touch it all.

He watched a lot of DIY videos on the internet, ordered the “exact match” color touch up paint from a large online distributor for $10 or so a bottle. Paniced when he did everything he was told to do to the “T” and it still came out unsatisfactory. He called us right away before it cured, thank goodness.
