Color match question
 
3 Attachment(s)
HI All,

I have Lightning Red Subaru BRZ,
After carefully consideration for a long time (price and outlook),
I plan to choose Bayson R (front lip) with Bayson R STI badge from Ebay+ TRD side skirts+ Chargespeed (rear spats).
I did not have any experience before. BRZ is my first car.
Which color code I should paint (or tell the body shop) on the bottom line of the TRD side skirt (black part) and Chargespeed FRP rear spat can color match the PU
Bayson R PU front lip well?
Or I also need to paint related black code on the front lip?
I just not sure which color code that I should tell the shop for painting.
Please give me some suggestion.
Thanks.

Color code for your red is C7P. If you are taking it to a shop to paint, I would plan to leave your car with them as they can use it to better color match the parts to the body of your car to account for any fading/orange peel/tint etc. on your paint.

Thanks for your suggestion.
Actually, I am asking the “ black” surrounding.
Please see there is a “black” bottom line of the TRD side skirt. (It is two tones color)
I want that part match my Bayson R front lip.
I also want to pain the same “black” on my Chargespeed rear spats.
However, I am not sure want kind of black code can match the PU surface color
of the Bayson R front lip.
Thank you.

Would pulling the front lip off and painting ALL the pieces the same black shade work for you?

What kinds of black (color code) you are suggesting?
Thanks a lot.
ps. I also can paint “ that black” on the front lip, if it looks better.
