I'm having a difficult time finding someone to paint my bumper that uses DuPont paint. I have a Silver Wind Karma. From all I've read here on the Buzz, you have to use a three stage paint process and only use DuPont. I've been to two body shops - one uses Sherwin Williams automotive paint and their comment was "color is color" so it should match. The other uses Sikkens and he was very hesitant to say that he could match it. The dealer where I bought my Karma said they use PPG paint and that they could match it. I really don't have much confident in any of these guys. My biggest concern is getting the glass or sparkle finish to match the existing silver paint. Has anyone had good success getting a match to the Silver Wind S2 color and if so, what did you use to get the match. BTW, DuPont automotive is now apparently Axalta Coating Systems. I assume I can still get the paint from them if I find a body shop that used DuPont in the past.
