PPW Is a pain to match. The flex additive they put into the color throws EVERYTHING off. It either goes too white or too yellow. I had my car painted at a dealer 3 times before they got the color right so I wish you luck. Any body shop will tell you they can do it.... but it aint easy and dont be supprised if you have to get a respray.

Anything thats urathane thats affected by wind or subject to impact... front, and rear mostly. They will spay the skirts with the same mix so it will all look a little off.

If you are getting fiberglass you are good it doesnt need it, remember to tell them of that they add it out of habit sometimes.

Awesome. Well I don't even have PPW I was just wondering since PPW is the hardest to match. I have a SS. I heard it's not any easier. Good luck to me!

I'm going to Classic next week to see what those guys have to say. From what I remember they don't touch aftermarket parts.

^ Yi, last thing I remember you came to pho with me, Dave Shiroma, Bigslim, Anh and Ted and we all were making fun of your side skirts. The color was so off that it looked like you jacked them off another car and slapped them on your car.. lol

I'm not quite sure what gives you the right to speak for both Arthur and Yi. Were you physically in the room listening to the conversation? Or you got this information from Arthur or Yi? Either way, Yi did not complain about the paint here and Kieran certainly didn't mention anything about the paint. Is someone being overly sensitive and speaking a little too much here? Read what they said again...
