I guess you could either just live with having a two tone silver car, or paint the whole car.
exactly, its very hard to blend paints.... either paint the whole car or just wait till u can...

dont paint the entire fender and panels, do you know how to blend? good rule of thumb is just to paint about 6-12inches from the newer paint so sand a part of the fender and panel... and put a light coat untill it looks somewhat blended... after its dried wait for a sunny day and check to see if it all turned out well.... its hard to explain for me, but do not paint the entire fender and panel tkae it to a shop they'll know how to blend it
