I have had the front bumper (Silver) resprayed to get rid of a couple of scratches.
The results are quite good..But, in a certain bright light the colour looks slighlty more sort of Golden coloured than the original paint.
The guy said he used the exact right paint mix etc.
Does anyone have experience of this?

I think I have heard that silver in general is the hardest paint colour to match by virtue of it being metallic and that the direction of the grain and way it is applied change its hues a bit too -- all metallics are harder for this reason too
what colour was the undercoat before he sprayed it silver ?? this could make a slight difference too.
