Well Im taking the body kit to the painter tomorrow afternoon. After a month or so of body work by me and my dad,we saved ourselves about 300+ bucks. The reason it took a month is because my dad works and I work and usually waited to be able to work with him cuz we get more work done and usually could only work on it during the weekends. Hopefully it won't be to long b4 the kit will be back on my car. Do have a question tho...How many #'s should be in the color code for the paint? I know it starts with a U but didn't know how many #'s were in the code.

does anyone think I'll have any problems with the paint being the same brightness or matching perfectly? I gave the guy the right paint code for GM white, U 9735(it was under the spare tire cover)...Now my car is a 97 and was bought used back in Jan of 02.Will the paint on the car look fine with the paint on the body kit?

If it's been well maintained (waxed/polished) I'm guessing it'll be really close...

Its also a garaged car to,well I mean i put it in the garage instead of leaving it out on the driveway in the sun.I always give it a weekly weekend bath at the self wash place,its pretty cheap.And do wax it from time to time,Im gonna need to once I get the kit on there tho,its in dyer need of it...As long as its hardly noticible then I'll be happy,cuz at some point the car is gonna need re-painted or have some spots fixed.
