Color mismatch after body repair!

There are "Lexus Certified Collision Centers" that probably do reliable body work. I don't think most Lexus dealerships even do their own body work but ship it out to a local body shop of their choice which probably means that you don't really know what you are getting. It doesn't look like there are any Lexus Certified Collision Centers in Arizona. I would wonder who even did your repair.

Update:
I had my car repainted at same dealership with no additional cost, and I had received a replacement car, yes it was a dealership mistake due to paint mixing with chemicals that help to dry paint quickly which caused the yellowish appearance at specific light.
Now, I have tested the paint thickness with paint gauge, and it seems paint is thick at specific spots between .2 mm and .6 (at edges). While original paint factory is only .15mm. Should I worry about this extra paint thickness? Should I ask dealership to sand and buff? Is it free of charge service?

If it matches better than the first paint job and looks good overall...who cares how thick it is. The only reason the factory is so thin is to keep costs down.
Glad they came thru and did it again for you.
Cheers
