instead of me making a new thread LIKE A n00b... and all of the ft86club gurus are on this thread.
Pre-painted parts vs taking it down to get match to your paint. Which do you prefer and why?

Prepainted always has a greater risk of mismatch. Of course so can colour match but the difference may be less. All depend on how anal you are about the exact tone, hue, etc. There are some guys that will complain because if they squint just right on a Tuesday at 12:47 they just might, maybe, possibly, be able to see a difference or there are others that if you can't tell from 20 feet away then it is close enough.

It's pretty close... but if you're really picky, I'll would recommend getting it painted by locally.

Remember the Zik/GTX/Cedars pics with the TRD kit put on by the dealer? The difference was notable even in the poor quality pics. Now that was white so it is the hardest to match and there was a colour change between the 14s and 15s so consider it a worst case scenario.
