Wrapping blue exterior pieces frozen gray (I was told by LA shop it won't match?
A custom shop Ive used before in LA said its best to use 3M frozen gray wrap and are trying to charge over $400 to wrap the small 6 exterior pieces in gray. Then they told me it won't be an exact match?
I would think that a decent shop can color match these to bmw oem frozen gray for less? Thx |

Shop around then? TBH, not sure why you'd care if it's an exact match. Pick whatever frozen gray *you* like. It doesn't need to match any other part on the car itself.

That is true. I'm just OCD about having 1 single custom exterior change on a car. I either keep it stock or not. Would be interesting to play with the different grays though and I guess it can always be removed

$400 to wrap those little pieces. What the actual fuck I got my entire door rewrapped once and the installer charged me $100 for it. What a joke of a shop.

Looking at 3M or Avery satin and matte gray....trying to decide what looks good since it will never be the same as stock frozen gray accents. Any suggestions?
