there are a dozen different shades of WB, keep that in mind when ordering the paint. you might even want to pay a bodyshop to tell you which is the correct shade and number for the blue your car is.

already bought the paint. had the guy match it. cost me 150 for it. he had to put some pearl to get an exact match. yeah the fitment on the front wasnt really bad at all.
