Default Will paint match?

I just brought a white bone stock 2000 ek hatch. I plan on putting a mugen lip,ctr front grill, and getting all of the black plastic dx things painted. Since the car is 3 years old will the newly painted things match the factory paint already on the car?

it will match fine. 3 years old is nothing. It won't match perfectly at first, but once the new paint cures and the rest of the car is buffed, will look factory

Uhhh, I usually don't go against Emerika.... but I am sticking with my original answer, the only way to get it to match is by blending. Blending would be alot of work for those parts.

I think white is one of the hardest to match right? I know silver was a bitch on my show kaa, I ended up spraying the whole thing.

yeah, i'd say silver is the hardest. i remember someones 350z got hit. and it was silver, and the best paint shop wouldnt even bother to quote it, because the silver was too hard to match
