ok I just got back from the bodyshop, my car was supposed to be black with mild metallic and a violet pearl...instead it's purple with a heavy metallic...there's not much I can do about it, I bought all the supplies, a guy painted it for me, but there's no warranty or garauntee so it's on me to fix it if I want it fixed...is there any kind of pearl or clearcoat that will darken the color? like a transparent black (like the stuff used to smoke taillights..but for the whole car)?

any help would be greatly appreciated as I felt completely nautious as I looked at the car in it's current state...I want the metallic dimmed (the car has so much it almost looks silver) and the purple turned more towards a midnight or black...

thanks
alden
