To supplement what mkiisupra said,
Look for a shop that will actually take the time to run some samples against your car and try to match. Not just mix a formula and call it a day. If they don't ask, keep looking. A good painter will go the extra mile, and will ask or inform. |

Jenny, check out somewhere in this forum there were some painted shark fin. it will save you all the trouble. In case you like to paint something, try to group some guys together, there maybe people want to paint other stuff like wings or mud flaps, just to share the set up cost.

Make sure its stripped. But any body shop would know to do that. They won't be able to match it perfect, subaru pearl white is the most difficult to match. I literally just asked my painter. You should just make it black. Make it two tone.

You might be better off selling the one you have and buying one in the right color.
You should not have as much a worry on exact matching with the shark fin, depending on which one it is. My one from beatsonic has a black rubber trim along the bottom. So the new paint and stock paint are not actually butted up against each other and differences won't be as obvious. |
