Just wondering if IBM is fairly easy to match or one of those colors that any repaint is going to be a hair off anyway so best not to mess with.

In bright sunlight my fascias are a hair lighter, and the metallic flake doesn't pop as much as the body. The body seems a deeper blue, with more depth to it and more variety to the metal flake, with some big shiny flecks here and there. I'm suspecting the body has Xirallic flake, and the fascias do not.
I am having my Havoc Spoiler painted and the shop told me there are 5 different shades of IBM and showed me all five against my car. We selected one of them, but added the metallic flakes of a second IBM color. He also said 5 shades isn't too bad...many have closer to a dozen.
