| Does anyone have the exact paint mix to match the factory color? Everyone seems to have trouble matching pear colors... |

| Ya.. there should be a sticker on the interior of the drivers door giving you the exact paint code. |

| Take your cas cover to Carlsons Autobody or someplace like that. Then they can match it much better than be going by the code. problems with codes is that over a course of a year, the factory could put out numerous variations of the "same color". It's impossible for them to repete the same color perfectly. When you color match it, like Carlsons can do, it will be much more accurate than just the code. |

Take it there just so they can match it and take the paint code elsewhere? Or are you just reccamending them as a good body shop?

No. They sell autobody supplies and paint. They scan the sample or whatever with a computer, and then they can mix paint to match the sample. |
