Pre-painted parts vs taking it down to get match to your paint. Which do you prefer and why?

basically what I am asking is if I buy pre-painted TRD parts from Japanparts.com how close will their white be to my frs's white.

Hahaha jk. Local is better but it shouldnt be that bad orepainted unless you're really anal.
Alright guys,

Went on over to japanparts.com and the difference of pre-painted parts via non painted is roughly $41.5 USD per part that I'm looking in to. Most of them were $41.5 or $41.49 while one was $24.9 and another was $49.78

I am unsure if anyone has experience with japanparts.com with their pre-painted stuff, but how close is their pre-painted stuff to a 2013 WHITEOUT frs. (not the new "halo" white)
