Touchup paint not matching?
I like this dry over night and it seems like the color just doesn't match up, I tested it on the inside of the door.
Ordered from http://www.paintscratch.com/ Made sure it was the only yellow color that came with the 2011 2SS "Yellow C 34/WA9414/GCO" I doubt fade in the inside of a door could change that much in the 4 years this car has been around. Should I try to get my money back or have them match it better? I thought this was factory.

That is a terrible match. I would contact them for sure to see what they say.

Get your touch up paint from the dealership or DrColorchip.com.

NOBODY has been able to match GCO on mail order worth a crap without "blending". NOBODY.
One of the issues I believe is that most of the time, GM colors have a color hue "range" so the body shop can color match due to variables in the factory paint mix. GCO, however, has no such range, at least as a few years ago. It's formula X, and that's it.

this is why I like having a black vehicle, easy to match the color. GM black is GM black, can be bought at pretty much any auto parts store.
