I think you have answered your own question. You are not happy with it and wont be until it is corrected. It is a lot easier to accomplish that now than after its completed. You will look at it for years and always know its not 100% the way you wanted it.
It is a tough call and an expense but unfortunately and ultimately I think it is best for your future sanity to bite the bullet now.
All that said it does seem to have a lot of flake in it so the color is different at the different angles. Your wheels for example look like different shades depending on the photo you look at. Somebody with experience in powder can probably answer but I know paint can be tricky depending on the angle, distance and ect on how it is sprayed. This one may be a tough one to get exact?
good luck and it will be awesome when complete.
