40th paint color match problem

You probably won't be able to order it from the parts counter... I would have your painter order it through his suppliers.

Im figuring that out as the day continues. I called every Nissan dealer in my area and they cant provide the paint. So then I asked them who does their body work and called them and got their paint supplier. Call the paint supplier and they said there is no OEM paint. You can only mix the color to get it "close" and that shades will differ based on air pressure used during painting (which i already knew), their suggestion was to either play with the pressure or blend the paint into the rest of the body to make it less noticable. My painter is going to try both.

Just got a quote from my body shop to install front bumper, fenders, rear bumper and spoiler + color matching (practically the whole car)

$8,500

They said the paint on the car will only look perfect if it's all matched cause it's like a 3 stage paint and if they were to do only the pieces being installed i would have a car with a whole bunch of shades of color. Does this seem a little high for this kind of job?

They're also making a steel support under the stillen front to prevent it from flexing so much and obviously gonna make everything fit perfect and what not.
