Frustration over paint matching

[Curley]

So almost a year ago my wife took some paint off my Camaro with my daily driver. For anyone interested here is the original post.

Now winter came and the car sat. Finally I took the car into my painter to see what he could do. Initially he told me that he would try to touch it up and clear the car. If that did not work he would spray the door and all would be perfect. Well, perfect it is not. He tried the touch up and that did not work. He then sprayed the door and the new water based paint did not come close to matching the 20 year old solvent based paint. The new paint is considerably darker that the old paint. The worst part is a rep from PPG has been out three times already and they don't know what to do. Has anyone else run into this? Sorry for the rant I'm just frustrated.
