Hi, I've recently had a kitchen installed and the MDF panels are a different shade to the real wood doors.  I'm told that 'because it's MDF it will always be different'.

I can't believe that car manufacturers can paint plastic and metal exactly the same shade, but no-one can match colours on MDF and wood! Am I right in thinking that, if correctly primed, the colour on the MDF should match that on the doors?  Any info gratefully received!
