Anyone know a good body shop that has reasonable prices that has the ability to match pearl paint on our lexus cars in the MD/VA area?

I actually went to here last year because someone recommended them and they do quick work at a good price. However, they aren't able to pearl paint match. My 2IS is a 2006 and obviously my paint has slightly changed from the original color after 4+ years. They were not able to match pearl paint... they tried 2x and failed ... I gave up with them.

Nothing outrageous but if the shop does quality work. No one seems to be confident in pearl paint matching ... body shops seem to always say "we can try" but no guarantees which isn't very assuring...

Unless the whole car is painted it's truly hard to match pearl 100% especially when the original paint from factory has aged. I'm sure there are shops that can get pretty close though.

true. also keep in mind if your trying to paint a bumper, it will never ever match the body of the car 100%.
