Lazy lazy lazy!
Having a mix code for touch up/blends is killer and this guy just screwed you because the "next" (hopefully never) time you need another pint or quart, odds are you could end up with three colors on your truck.

What happened to/about the culprit that damaged it in the first place ...dare I ask... this color issue shouldn't be YOUR problem!
