Have before pics? Looks like they had to base color the door close to the ends, and didn't blend it into the fender. If they blend into the fender they have to clear the whole fender as well... and maybe blend into the hood if it doesn't look right - and you guessed it, clear the whole hood. The color isn't a great match, but if they blended - it would be much less noticeable. <but your hood is wrapped, so no need for hood work>

I had a hood painted on the wife's van a while back. Guy complained that the previous painter didn't get the color correct and that is why he couldn't match it up properly. I then informed him, his shop was the previous painter! He repainted the whole front clip to make it right.

What work did they quote when they bid the job? Blend into adjacent panels and apply clear should have been in the initial quote. If they quoted and charged it that way, that would be fraud because they didn't do that. If they didn't quote it that way, they should have went back to your insurance company and got additional funding to do it right when they knew they couldn't blend into just the door. This isn't some 10 year old daily beater.
