Why painted? It'll never match and look like butt if it's pre-painted...IMO, but I'm **** 8^ P

Default Different paint batches...

Even w/ the paint code it's very hard to match the different shades, not to mention that the paint probably has faded a little from the sun. Paint shops have a hard enough time matching the paint w/ the car under their nose let alone guessing. I know I'm ****, but if every time I walked by my car I could see the different colors, I'd freak.

I would order a ready to paint spoiler from BMW and find a good paint shop in your area...cheaper and better looking, + if the colors don't match you can have them redo the job 8^ )

Default Hmm .. My Santorin M3 Lip Spoiler from Zev @ Avalon is a great paint match.

I can't tell the difference and I'm VERY picky. I've never had anyone comment for that matter.

The only problem is that the tape he puts on there is too damn thick. Have him use thinner tape or purchase the BMW tape and do it yourself.

Default My Silver from Zev matches perfectly color wise, although there is a slught blemish and needs to be

redone.
