Yes, you all are correct. It is based on paint code. But, sometimes the formula has a variant: more red, more blue, green....ect. So thats when it helps when the car is THERE so it can be matched to the panels next to it. That way if your car has faded a little(which you probably wouldn't notice) they can match to the color of your car better. If you have a car with Metalic or pearl then there could be a difference in how course the metalic is, or if the pearl flips "clean or dirty".

The black/blue pearl is one of those colors that take time to match. I wish is wasn't so difficult....that way I could have my body kit and wing on already!!

Anyway, where are you located! If you are in the Santa Clara area I know of some good shops!
