matching paint colours

Who knows anything about paint shades? I've been told my spray job is held up because there are 5 slightly different shades of Sahara Beige and they have given the paint people the petrol filler flap to match it exactly.
Does that ring true or just a delaying tactic?

Certainly rings true, and I'd be happier with a bodyshop that takes the time to match it than just goes with something that'll be "close"

You'll probably find yours is Jewish Racing Gold

Forgot to add that I'm hoping to get our Furby back tomorrow, in addition to some body repairs to the near-side I'm spending a further £250-odd having the bonnet and bumper re-painted after a previous bodyshop didn't get the paint right
