Anyone had to have Navy Blue Metallic matched? Just got hit last weekend, and my entire passenger side from the quarter panel to the front bumper will have to be repainted, as well as the hood and headlights. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience as far as dealer color matching...they said they use a computer to scan my car and match the color variance based off the color code. Also, they will be using Sikkens paint. I'm a little worried since Navy Blue Metallic seems to not be a solid color and changes to purple under certain lighting conditions. The rest of the paint on the car is perfect as it has been garage kept and waxed regularly, so I just want this new paint job to be as good as the factory.

I would say that if the shop uses sikkens then they know what they are doing and it should lok ok. Also if your car sat out all the time which it does not would make a difference for paint matching. If I were you I would paint the whole car and go with the good paint since basically half the car is getting painted.
