Ivory pearl paint

Have you guys been able to perfectly match the Ivory pearl paint? After having my bumper repainted almost 4 times its as close as its going to get. Just wondering if you guys were having similar issues. I know that the paint sprays differently on poly then metal but Ivory pearl is a bitch to match.

That's with any paint, it always will be different. The only way to "color match" it is to feather it into the Hood and fenders

yea, even the pro's of pro won't be able to match that color 100% unless everything is resprayed at the same time.

got my rear bumper cover replaced too, looks more white than pearly. In order for the whole car to match you gotta either get the parts that you need to replace from someone who has the part factory painted, or have the whole car resprayed to match the same color, or feather it in.

I'm going to see if I can buy someones rear bumper cover so that it's the real "ivory pearl"

Look at any other G and the bumper won't always 100% match the fenders. Even with Jet black you can tell a slight difference in the sun!
