There's so much more to it than random material on the internet. Any real shop will do test cards and tint until it's right. We have full mixing systems that allow us to tint, rather than order an unknown paint line pre mixed that is a total mystery when sprayed out. Then when it's off, there's no way to tint because you can't mix and match systems

I've also heard that paint matching Crystal White Pearl is pretty difficult and even when professionally done, can be off. If this is the case, I'd rather paint the panels myself if the paint is going to be okay at best. Has anyone painted their twins using ScratchWizard's paint? I will be saving quite a lot of money if I choose this route. Thanks guys.

Unless you are an experienced painter, I reckon you might as well mask it off and paint the add on body parts a different color ....... because that's the way it's gonna look ......

Scratchwizard paint is perfect match for my car in D4S Black Silica... but black is much easier to match than most.
