From my perspective it is a perfect match. One can did the entire rocker panel. I went over it with Duple-Color Perfect Match clear coat, an acrylic lacquer. All in all it looks like OEM original.

Earlier in the year I removed the windshield trim and the door handles. Sprayed them with my gun using a mixed one step paint. I need to go back and look in my paint locker to see the exact brand and number, but it was mixed using the Crossfire color code. That is completely different than OEM. Has much more metal flax look to it, but I like the extra shine so have keep it on the car. Most people wouldn't notice the difference, but it is definitely there. A single coat process vice a two step base/clear will always show a difference. I thought a single step paint will hold up better on the windshield trim.
