Makito (Seven Apple) is the man!
As you all know QX1, otherwise know as PPW is hard to color match. I got alot of good recommendtions to see Makito. I took the Z down last Thursday, and during the painting process and fitting, etc. Makito kept in touch with me to let me know what was going on. He called me this morning to let me know he was done shooting the FB, SS, RL, and Roof; and to come down to check it out. Once I got there he said that the SS and RL were alittle to white so he was going to re-shoot it. However, the FB is spot on I believe, maybe a 1/2 tint lighter, otherwise not to bad. Also, he painted the roof gloss black, looks damn good. Here are some pics...sorry for the crap cell phone pics...

^He did the same for my friend that had PPW and still didn't come out with enough flake and the white was a couple shades to dark.
Don’t get me wrong, Makito is tight but he even said "you get what you pay for" and referred to his paint, being that it is a lot cheaper than other paint competitors.

It's good to hear you took it to Makito's bro... I like to think to myself that im not one of those picky mf's out there, but it's in my korean blood. 
Yes it's not an exact match, but its the closest i've seen(trust me, i've been around). +1 for Seven Apple.
