Ipl side skirt paint not matching

I just bought these side skirts from outcast garage. The install was super easy. Took about an hour to do both sides. The only problem I'm having is that the side skirt is whiter then my car. It's really off. Paint code is Qaa for the car and the side skirts. Is there anyway I could get them to match. Or do I just have to wait and let the sun do it. [IMG]

Whites and silvers I am told are the toughest to match. Your only option is to go have them painted of course. If is bothers you enough just get it done and don't look back.

Honestly, I dont even notice it...

You probably notice it more because its YOUR car.

To the average persons eye, we couldnt tell the difference.

Akashsaroya,

Can you put up a picture from an angle that also shows your front bumper. What front bumper do you have? Thanks.

They will NEVER be able to match it unless your car is there. A good body shop has a scanner that takes samples of the surrounding panels to match whatever they are painting as best they can. The only way you will get anything close to matching if you take it to a shop thats local.

Also, the skirts are plastic, and the body is metal, it will always be off because of different materials.
