There is a guy in Rosemead/10 Fwy. I have a MSG as well, and got my bumper painted through him. It's pretty d@mn close, but I gotta tell ya ... that's a hard color to match.

Check into Holmes Body Shop in Pasadena. They're just about the best around here.

Good luck.

One of the reasons I am so concerned is the spiral gray color--I used to have a three coat pearl 300zx, that no one could ever match
