Im going to the shop tomorrow to see how well they can match it. they are very reputable around vancouver bc, done many show cars, including a full r32 covert to r34. and a lot of custom paint projects.

i've used them for my cars for about 5 years, they are very skilled and detailed with their work especially when it comes to aftermarket parts. Hope it works out so i dont have to bring it to another shop. i miss my car

random question:
does the brand of the paint matter??

I was on the same page as you OP. in my case now, my Z is my DD, i cant leave it in a shop. So right now I have the same kit plus rear being painted by UAM, and the only "for sure" option was to use a buttload of OEM KAV paint to get it as matching as possible w/o my car over there.

Not the best move but I know I'll be happy as hell. Try going to another dealership, see if you order some and have your shop try to blend the 40th color.
