It's very, very difficult to get a perfect match on most metalflake paints; ESPECIALLY silver!! It's all in how the paint was laid. Paint also takes differently to plastic than metal so you might see a slight variation there. That said, that looks pretty good on my laptop. My old '06 Lincoln LS was silver and in certain lights and from certain angles the paint didn't match at all!! Even on the same panel, mostly due to the panel shape, it looked like it different match! Your eye is going to be hyper-critical as you know the history.
