am i stuck

i had my tank painted about 3 weeks ago and today, i finally had a chance to put my bike together. I notice in the sunlight that the tank and the plastics don't match. The tank is more on the orange side, a shade lighter than the plastics. Tommorrow im going to complain to the shop that painted my tank, but can he say too bad im sol?

Did they match the color or did you just give them a paint code? How faded are the plastics? Ever noticed how plastic bumpers on cars aren't a 100% match to the body work? Different processes are used on metal and plastic, so it can be tricky to color match exactly. However if the shop was supposed to match and its off, take it back. A reputable shop will make it right.
