I'm pretty sure he's doing a front end clip swap with a Geo Metro.
as for color matching... it's either the gun, or they come outside with dried samples over and over again. Either way it's not something I'd try myself because if the color is just a little off, my untrained eyes would not notice it.
I need a picture of the ATH spoiler. I need a picture of the underside of the ATH spoiler, and all of the mounting hardware with or without a picture of the underside of the spoiler. Especially the studs and the bolts.

as for getting the paint get it mixed for you at a body shop if you can... get them to come and color match YOUR paint. The rest of your car will look different in comparison to the newly painted parts if you just get a thing of OEM paint off a shelf...

Don't forget guys, this is just TEMPORARY.
Good idea, I'll go check Napa. I still dont' have a sprayer or anything. Actually, I've got a little airbrush kit I picked up from Harbor Freight. LOL
None. That was for the SFR Korean office, they have a TT they are working on and the guy wouldn't send it to them.
SHHHH!!! LOL
BAN!
Recieved.
BAN!
And I will take them tomorrow.
Well, thanks to a friendly PM, I was shown this site.

You can buy the OEM paint, matched to your paint code, in a pen, spray can, or larger sizes.
I'm thinking of getting like 4 or 5 cans and doing this in my garage. What clear coat should I use?
Any other suggestions?

any paint shop will have the stock color but few can compensate for the fading. you have a napa by you? at mine they have a neat little gun that the put by the car and it gives them the paint code. then they mix it there, however much you need

the paint code and the actual paint will be different. a paint code will be different from shop to shop. You really should have it done professionally. If it turns out wrong, they'll redo it.

No, the paint code shows what paint mixture was used to paint your car. Hence the code. The code is there so you can easily match it. If you check out that site, they have all the codes for all OEM paints there, including *GASP*! Hyundai's.
I'm not worried about some sun fading, as I said, it's temporary.
I'm not getting it professionally done, so stop posting that.
Damnit. I get sick of that shit.
