^it's on the bottom of the bumper... i'm not paying $300+ to have them repaint it for some scuffs in places where people won't really be looking at. i'm just using the bottom to see how well it matches with the seemingly hard-to-match pearl white (i've realized now) so that i can better touch up the minimal scuffs on the side of the front bumper. i just need it to be nearly perfect so that i can finally apply the opti-coat. originally, i trusted the dealer to give me a best match because i was a little skeptical on third party products. someone enlighten me.
and gurneyeagle, what variable(s) seem to be the culprit of the paint not matching properly?
on another note,
i'm not completely sold yet with dr. color chip results:

however, judging from these videos... maybe it just requires more layers to have it blend with the surrounding paint more nicely? like put enough to have it slightly raised and then sand it down to even out everything? will paint layer lines show? thanks everyone =)
