I'm thinking of getting a Monaro front bumper for my Brazen Orange 06. Looking at the paint has me a little worried about a body shop being able to match and blend it perfectly. I'm very picky so any hint that the paint doesn't match would drive me crazy. Am I overreacting or is it a simple process matching it? Also, anyone have a recommendation for a body shop around Cinci?

Waiting for Holeshot to chime in here (he does auto paint mixing for a living, among other things...)

No problem with matching... It's base coat/ clear coat.

Ts209 Tec Clear Bin 13.3... ..... 13.3
Dmt24 Fn Green Perl 14.2 ......... 0.9
Ts221 Palio Orange 434.0 ......... 419.8
Ts205 Palio B/c Ton 447.3 ........... 3.3
9890 Orange 450.0 .......... 2.7
9907 B.van Yellow 450.9 ......... 0.9

Not a hard color to make this is Martin Senour/ Sherwin Williams formula for a pint.

I felt the same way about matching the IBM for the SAP rear bumper but it came out perfect.

Adam...Jeff Wyler Pontiac body shop on AA Hwy in Wilder {where we met for the cruise} painted & installed my SAP kit. They did a great job & matched the BOM perfectly.

The trunk lid took several tries to paint after the spoiler fell off. Come to find out, the car was painted twice, once at the factory, the correct color, and once, somewhere else, the wrong color. It was pretty close the last time I painted it, but not close enough, so I made a small change. Now I use paint code ZR.
