I only noticed because I was looking for scratches last night under florecent light and was using a flash light and noticed some parts are not as bright as others with the flashlight.
I went to the dealer and asked what my options are, they agreed they'd simply take the car back.
So I'm asking what you would do. I paid less than 42,500 for the car and this had already stretched my budget. Zl1's a dream car for me. If I returned it I'd have to go with a new ss(I me ow tough right) which would depreciate ASAP
Here are some pics of the differences. FYI....no scratches, those are snow flakes passing in front of the lens
FYI...this is a daily driver, not a garage queen, it's going to be tracked and driven!

It seems to me liek you have already made up your mind yourself.
as the poll clearly shows, the majority of people are reccomending you keep the car and enjoy it.
However, if you are that sensitive to the details of the car to examine it closely and up close with a light and you can detect color mismatches, something tells me that that fact will haunt/bug you forever if you keep it.
to me and probably a lot of us here, if there is a color mismatch, it's subtle enough for us not to see it at least not in the pictures posted. In real life it may be more detectible.
My point is, if it bugs you now, it'll be in the back of your head that the mismatch is there for the rest of the life of the car.
I'd say, keep the car, it's a wonderful beast especially at that price, and see if the paint continues to bother you. If it does, get the car re-painted to your satisfaction. Even with the cost of a paint job, it's still a good buy.
