The paint is 100% opacity where the repair is and you blend outwards so you don't notice the colour difference through bonnet/door.
Nothing really can be done other than having stock of the actual paint the car was painted in at the factory or failing that blend it.

But hey, you got a very very cheap job done and as far as your concerned the damage has gone. That's all that matters.... right?
