the roof recall thing

in march, my gm garage told me that my baby should have its targa roof replaced. don't know whether this roof recall thing was referring to a specifically european "vette malady", or whether this problem was affecting covettes worldwide.
well, they told me that the roof already had been orderd and then would be painted - at least, they knew the color code.

yesterday, the roof got replaced. not only that the "stickers" sticker is missing now, on driving home i noticed that, compared to the other parts of the bodyshell, the roof's paint got a strange yellowish tint. you can't imagine how frustrated i was!

today, i went to my gas station in order to clean my baby. and in the sunlight, i noticed this yellowish shade also on other painted areas. big relief, at least for now...
nevertheless, i'm still not convinced. in the past, i had enough reason not to trust this garage, not mentioning their uncanny ability to always spoil the interior (dark stains on the light parts and light stains on the dark parts). i'm gonna check on this again. i wanna be 100% sure they got the right color.
