Default Machine Silver Paint Work

Anyone with a Machine Silver have any paint work done?

If so, are you happy with the newly applied paints match to the factory paint?

Thanks.

I haven't had to have any paint work on my machine silver Corvette but I did have the rear of my '99 metallic silver Miata repainted. I was concerned about quality but the match turned out to be flawless. The key is finding a quality body shop that puts a good paint man on the job.

Silver's always difficult to match. Need to find someone who knows what they're doing. When I added Z06 quarter panels they blended into doors to do it right.
