    Dupli-Color Arctic White = Alpine White

    More or less...

    Yes, I know about paintscratch.com but this is a cheaper and easier solution for some non-mission critical components that need color matching.

    I'll let you be the judge. Pretty cheap, easy to come by and looks damn near perfect IMO (slightly warm). Certainly better than the appliance white paint that so many people use to paint their bumpers and skirts. Hopefully this is helpful to someone.

        Very useful, thanks. I replaced my hood bracket (where the shock attaches) and I left it primer black for the time being.

          Lol wash your damn car ;). It looks good enough for valences, but I don't think I'd do anything more than that. MAYBE a bumper. Maybe..

              You all have to be kidding me. Even in the picture, it looks waaaay off.

              The sample piece looks yellower than the car.

                Now that you say that, on my phone it looks more yellow, but on my computer screen it looks perfect. I'm going to give it a shot and see what it looks like IRL. It's worth a $5 try.

                  I said it was a bit warmer, but in person it looks damn close. Look, if you want perfection go to a body shop. Just trying to get some info out there, if it's too yellow for you then now you know and you're welcome.

                  Yes the car is dirty... it's a beater and on jackstands more than on the road at the moment. Hence the "close enough" color match. ;)

                          Agreed.

                          But am I the only one who gets things painted by professionals??

                            Too bad you don't have the same standards when it comes to buying and driving on drilled wheels. :D

                              I thought it was normal for most of the world to value vanity over sanity? And pay rediculous amounts of money for it?
