i have an ivory pear car.. and my body shop matched my kit almost freaking perfect.. you will never get exact but i got pretty close to it.. he said he shot the paint and then added 3 coats of pearl to get it to look like it did.. its all about adding the pearl that matches the paint.. not the actual white paint.. if you want there are tons of pics of my car all over this forum.. do a search and you will see the paint is very good.. i would take it back and get them to match it.. if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for the paint job?

its almost impossible to match IP paint unless you paint match ie. if you want bumper painted, you also do the fenders and maybe the hood. i've seen were its always brighter white than stock.

like i said its not perfect.. but its pretty damn close.. im happy with how it turned out.. i have also heard that over time in the sun the paint will start to fade and it will all blend with the rest of the car.. i dont know how true that is

any paint with pearl is very difficult to match esp. nissan white bec. of weather. time etc. my $.02 on this is.. if they cant match it the first time they wont be able to do on the second and third time. but if you can hardly tell the difference, just leave it. but if you really want it to match perfect then paint entire car. paranormal's car is new so might be the reason why its almost perfect match .

painting my car soon with the greddy front/side and nismo rear diffuser.
