Cool 1999 Acura TL repaint

I just bought an Acura TL and it's going to be repainted soon. It's stock Satin Silver Metalic...but I want to have the car painted to White Diamond Pearl, just the outside though because it will cost more for a full paint job. I was wondering what are your guys advice/opinion for this!!

-reason I am asking is because the door jammers/trunk will be Satin Silver Metalic

No pic is needed.

It won't look right.

To me it would be like you just had a WDP door put on but your car is actually SSM.

Why don't you just buy a WDP then?

I wouldn't. It's not gonna look good and you're gonna regret it. Save up and do it right or just repaint it SSM, it's a very nice color.

Close up pics?
Or more pics in general.

Looks nice overall, I see you filled the holes where the A was. Nice lip on the rear wheels too.

damn, that's going to be a pretty penny. At least you're not doing the wdp outside with ssm jams.
As long as the color is not too much different than the stock silver, you'll probably be ok.

yeah, definitely post pictures when it's done.
