In my area, dealerships have been very unwillinging to come off the price
You are confusing the price of a car with customer service. They are not the same thing.

i've purchased 5 vehicles in my life. Spent about 3 months searching for my current vehicle and 2 months searching for my previous charger.
Again, that's shopping and not customer service. Not getting the price you want is not bad customer service.
I agree with you about the repair work. It is substandard and should be fixed but they are still under no obligation to provide a loaner car. I hope it all works out to your satisfaction in the end.

its PRY(redline tri coat). Did I type V earlier? If so, that's a typo
That's possible what their painter did. PRV is also a red.
PRY - Redline is a tri coat. The base color is a light red, and the mid-coat is a tinted clear with pearl in it.
Each coat of tinted clear slightly darkens the final color.
A competent shop would have sprayed a letdown panel for that color and compared the sprayout to the rear quarter panels. They also would have blended onto the rear quarters.
Another problem arises when your insurance company refuses to pay the shop to blend. Shops can't paint cars for free.
If the body shop can't handle this color match issue, they should get their local paint supplier and their regional paint rep involved.

May have been answered but:
I thought you weren't supposed to blend for plastic bumpers bc of the flex additive?

Sounds like you've been bullshitted by a body shop.

If it's a PPG shop, this is the contact information for their distributor in the Houston area. They should be able to get you in contact with local tech help guys that can go to the shop and fix this.

That's if you're dealing with a PPG Body Shop.
If it's another brand of paint, let me know and I'll find the contact info for them.
If you want to get things done quickly, find out the brand of paint the shop uses, and the name of the paint store they use. Just drive the car to the paint store and tell a white lie - "____ Body Shop sent me over here to get you to match this paint."
Also, if you call that corporate phone number, ask for contact info for James Craigo. He should still be the PPG rep for the Houston area if he hasn't retired.
