Where did you get your paint matched? The shade is slightly dark

The paint is darker because it is a different colour.

It is NOT Lightning Blue.

If the correct colour is mixed it should be a perfect match assuming the original has not faded too much.

Yay for the Lip install!! But yeah does look a bit darker, and/or doesn't look like it's got any pearl flake through it at all.

Might wanna get that checked out if you want to match it right.. Or just do the whole thing Matte black! Might look good too, couple of people here done it.

Nah its a little darker, Im pretty sure its because I haven't put much of a shine onto the clear coat, but I could b wrong.

I got it made to the d06 mitsu lancer lightning blue so unless the guy stuffed it, its the right colour


I had the same lip mate and got paint made up aswell (White W74) and came up actually lighter, I though it needed a good buff to which did help a little but i think it may be the PU (As ive never painted on it before) and i just found it weird that it didn't match so i took mine off.
Good-luck though :)
