Default FIRST PICS...from the shop...

I can tell you one thing, Pearl is a pain in the ****? to match, some of these pics dont do justice, IT seems that depending on where you stand and where the light is then everything matches perfect.

doesnt make sense when you get close to the car everything matches, the paint dude said give it a few months and things will fade a little,

Yeah, that problem occurs in most colors because the original paint has some wear on it. Nothing you can do. Car looks beautiful!!!!

Welcome to the "ihatetomatchwhitepaint" club.lol When I got my car done boy was I **** about matching but it isn't as bad as you think. It is tough to match brand new paint with paint that has worn for 2t plus years ya know. Anyhow it looks awesome.
