As a painter for the last 19 yrs. I'd like to add this to that..Many factors can affect the outcome of a color, particulary sensitive colors like pearls and metallics. For example if you held the spray gun too close to a panel that was lying flat( as many people do) You can get a different color tone to a 1/4 panel you shot that was on the car ( where one would instinctively 'back off ' the gun, so you don't run the paint). Also if the car was not shot both times in a controlled enviroment like a paint booth, and the weather conditions( like temp, humidity, amount of air movement) were considerable different. That would affect the speed that the paint flashed or dryed, and how the metallics layed out. I would not re-prime the car either. Let it cure, 800 or 1000 grit sand it (don't blow thru) then shoot. If you have enough base to redo it, I would. This would all but quarantee your success. Don't sweat it, pros redo paint work all the time. The chances of the doors matching the 1/4's and fenders if you reshoot just them is...not good.
