Hit up Sherwin Williams or Wesco, you can actually get rattle cans of factory paint codes for a reasonable price.

Agreed, $350 is the standard going price (stateside) for something like Formula One Pinnacle or Huper Optik, aka your top of the line tints.

As for it being worth it in general (not necessarily to the OP), I'd say that really depends on 1) budget and 2) climate. I tried to justify getting top of the line tint, but I live outside the sunbelt and would rather put the extra $250 over cheaper tint to better use elsewhere...like JDM underbody panels.

Marchy, how much sun do you really get in Seattle?

Just got back from Palomar Mountain. That was one of the most fun driving experiences I've ever had. Can't wait to do it again.
