It is not just a small difference in tones.
I would normally be willing to give the shop a chance to fix their mistakes, but now that all the electrical problems have come into play and things like my airbags are potentially at risk, I want to have a mercedes dealer fix all problems henceforth as I don't trust this guy with my life. I will wait until Wednesday for a reply from Progressive and then see what they have to say.
I am sure that the airbag issue and the lack of a car alarm right now will pursuade them to help me out.

Color match is very seldom a problem as we 99% of the time we blend the adjacent panels, even whites, as they are usually a real PITA to match. With an older car it usually takes away all matching problems. I doubt that Progressive pays for blending to their "preferred" shops though.
