Default Have a little problem

As some of you know someone decided that they wanted to be in the same lane as my fiance the other day and hit the front right fender of my box. I took it to a body shop and they replaced the fender with a new one. The problem i have is the stock one was kind of a grey color on the back side in the engine bay and the new one is sort of a yellow color. I know that this would not bother some people but it bugs the hell out of me. I am glad the car got fixed but the inside does not match so if i ever want to show the car it will be off. Does anyone know how i can possibly fix this. Any input would be helpful.

Why not have the body shop shoot the paint on the inside? If they are charging you for a job, have them complete the job correctly. Call the body shop and explain the problem.

That's the natural color of the sheet metal they used to replace your fender with, the only way to remedy that is to paint it or put some vinyl or dynamat/insulation over it. If you decide to have it painted, you should have the insides of both fenders color-matched since everything else in the engine bay is already color-matched.
