Went to Holtz BMW, and they had the car for a total of 3 days.
Do insist that they get it right or as close as possible! Check your paint code on your car and ask them what sub-code they painted the bumper with?
I was told that there are 2 "variations" (sub-codes?) and that the darker of the two was used.

Thnaks for all the advice. I'll keep you guys posted on any developments.

Since they used the darker colour and assumimg that the code mix is 100%,they should now apply just apply another "full" coat of blue before applying the top clear varnish coat!This will darken the colour.
The rule is when spraying a metallic colour ,you have to paint it with two coats of paint before applying the 2 or 3 coats of varnish.If you apply an additional paint coat ,you colour will turn out darker,which is what you need
in your case!
If somehow,they didnt give it enough paint coats to cover the primer ,you colour will be lighter,as in you case as well!
Anyway,just trying to give you good professional advice.Hope they get it right the second time!
