yea ... different paint code = different color ![thumbup](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)
unless its a straight black .. but anyways
the colors are a good ways apart ... silverstone vs. carbon silver (light vs dark sorta)
just take the spoiler to a good local body shop and shouldn't cost too much right now b/c every dang body shop is hurting for money (I'm a painter at a big shop and I'm coming home lunch time every day
)
they'll probably charge you 2 hours paint time if all they gotta do is scuff and shoot ..
so at $40 / hour for 2 paint and 2 labor .. that'll be about $160
and make sure you find out what paint they use b/c if its some cheap stuff that thing isnt going to match any better than the silverstone next to carbon silver![bowrofl](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/bowrofl.gif)
I painted my brothers 280z carbon silver like my 07z with some cheap sherwin williams paint and that color isn't anywhere close
we use Dupont Chrombase / Chromapremier and its been matching pretty darn good compared to Sherwins Ultra 7000 line ..
if you do end up getting it painted ... try to find a shop that uses PPG or Dupont .. try to stay away from SW unless you dont care that it matches
