Color code QAB pearl white???

Cell · 05-16-2011, 04:14 PM

I bought bumper plugs with the color code QAB (pearl white) and the color does not match at all to the pearl white on the 370z.

I also looked online to buy some touch up paint to redo the bumper plugs but they seem to be of a different color also.

Anyone have any idea why the colors do not match at all?

B/C it is a 3 stage paint

1 base coat
2 mid coat(pearl)
3 clear

There are alot of variables that come into play when shooting a 3 stage paint job that's why you need to paint all the parts at the same time if possible.
