Lucky badger ya :lol: i have never seen anyone get a refund for paint, normally they just say 'you can try a different shade' lol
If it doesn't fit,

If it breaks,

They did try blaming how it was sprayed and i sprayed the door and it stuck out like a sore thumb so when i went back i checked the chart i found the right one did a test piece and there face dropped cus it was a match so they didn't charge for the tint that they made.
