Hey everyone, I am fixing to get a West Wings G5 Kit for my car. I keep hearing that the kit is very expensive to get painted at the dealership. If I bring the kit to another paint shop and give them the paint code for my car from the door, can they paint it the same color?

Not 100% sure on this, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that you can get it prepaionted to match your factory color directly from WW.

they dont have to have the car to mach it perfect do they??, some guy that works in a paint place buy my house told me they basically have to paint the whole car for it to mach right Would I be fine ordering my kit off of ebay??, they said that the kit comes painted to my paint code at WW and shipped from WW to my door.

Take it to a local body shop. They will look up your paint code and see how many alternates there are. For instance Satin Silver Metalic has 5 alternates using Sherwin W. Paint. 3 how these can be ruled out (for acura) leaving us with 1 standard and 1 alternate. The shop will probably take those two color chips and see which one is closer. That will be the formula that they use. Make sure you ask around and find a reputable shop. And please don't skimp on price. A cheap paint job will have matching problems and if the body kit is preped inproperly, it will most certainly chip down the road. good luck!
