You missed my point. It has nothing to do with fading over time, or the material used (for the most part) what I was referring to is the 4+ variants of this color that were used on these XFs. The paint is different because it was diferent when the put it on the car. You can not perfectly match a batch of paint over 10,000+ cars in a 5 year period, especially with a color like this and a metallic finish that is insane. When I was painting mine, my painter came to the house with a 'sun gun' and 4 variants of the metallic gray paint on cards so we could compare and make sure everything was perfect. I am sure your painter did the same thing, but now its impossible to tell if it will be perfect for another car. Very close - probably, but of the 4 cards he brought over, they all were noticeably different, especially sitting nearly on top of one another.....

I am not trying to pee in your pool, just trying to make sure everyone is happy with the transaction. Your price is more than fair, you will get it when the right guy comes along....
