Damn, that sucks! How do you like the color on the car?

I hope karma comes around and gets those mother F'ers. I had Avus on my last car.. It's so beautiful. Anyway don't worry the body shops will match it perfectly. They get the codes from the manufacturers and then take into account the newness of the paint, fading, etc. etc. Pretty amazing these days. Only you will know it's been worked on.

the computer, basically custom mixing the color to your exact car.

While I don't have a direct experience with a paint shop, I hear these guys have done good work.
