Were are they having the paint mixed at?

What kind of paint are they using? Shitty brand/economy paint are a crapshoot from the mixing machine...then the mixer would have to adjust it manually which I guess your paint shop still couldn't do.

Sounds like incompetent shops...

Most shops computer match based on paint code... no 'mixing' required as the computer tells them exactly what they need....
Go somewhere more professional. I had my NAG Black Rose painted three times no issues. And that was over a 4 year period from first match till last months paint match...

Where in jersey are you? If you haven't "committed" to that shop yet let me know. I know this good shop in north jersey where they painted my car after an accident, you can't tell it was ever in accident or painted.

I had a dent removed and painted. Guy at the shop said it was easy so I don't know what to tell you. Good luck!
