clearcoat matched well on my front lip simply because it's clear! LOL ...

it's close, but of course it's no perfect..

you can never reproduce the color/shade by spraying with metalic color due to the fact that the metalic flakes have different orientations when they land on the surface.

I messed up my spoiler a little bit. I want to try to repaint it my self. UWTL what items did you use where did you get them from and how much did it all cost. Also is it pretty easy to do? Info and pics would be great. Thanx.
