I was told the silver and red are the 2 hardest colors to match perfectly and that sometimes it not even worth it to just paint a single panel. You should paint the entire car to make sure it matches perfectly. Anyone disagree or agree with that statement? dunno.gif

My silver was a 3 step color process, and for just the front bumper and hood sides they had to blend the clearcoat to the doors... 3 grand. But it was a flawless match and I knew the body shop so I'd expect a good match at a random shop to be plenty more...
