Is there any way to lighten the color to try blend it in better? Having different color panels on cars kinda bugs me.

Is it actually the same paint code / colour as the rest of the car?
If it is, then a light machine polish will bring it closer, but if its not, there isnt much that you can do!

I might try a polish and see if it makes any difference.
