We already discussed that over in the General Section last night. Does not look like that is really the isssue. Several vendors are having problems with that color also.

Thanks all for the responses.....
Looks like my painter laid a silver base coat instead of a gray (then sanded it to light gray). We will know this afternoon how well it matches up....

I just had some repair work done on my 06 DSOM Coupe and the painter made a perfect match after about six trial runs. If you want to call him in San Diego, his business is Euro Sport Collision Repair at
