Moonlight white hard to match?

I'm debating between a 2009 moonlight white, 2009 platinum graphite, and a 2010 diamond graphite. I've heard that the moonlight white is a hard color to match if I plan to do an bumper swap or complete aero kit. This true? Should I consider the other colors?

It is harder than the other colors just becaus of the heavy pearl. But if you goto a good shop it'll be no problem

I have MW and the shop I went to did it perfectly. Easier than Ivory Pearl, but still a hard paint to match. Looks the best imo though!

There isn't any "matching", it should all originate from factory paint codes. It's the "multi-stage pearl pattern" that can be difficult to match for someone that doesn't know what they're doing, but a shop with a good paint guy should turn out a bumper with an OEM finish.

Don't base your purchase on this. Go with what you like best (I like pearl white).

If you live in a warmer climate, a white car will stay cooler inside. I had a black G prior to my white, SoCal summer was brutal in that car.

GL with your purchase.

Like previous poster said. Go with the color you want originally. Don't settle for a different color because white is hard to match. It's harder than other colors yes, but not impossible.
