So it shouldn't have had horrible fading.

I'm just looking for some good brands so I don't have to worry about issues with it down the road. I am looking to get a heritage grille too, and at least it's paint would match the ground effects if I do it all at once.
You might have a side cast issue. That's when the paint shade looks a little different from certain angles. This is more noticeable on metallic colors like your car. If you had a solid color, it would be much easier.

Do realize there can be up to 7-8 variations of a particular color. Just because you know the color code, doesn't mean it's going to "match".

It seems like you still want the easy way out. So, I guess your parts won't be a perfect match. That's okay though. Someone like me will be able to tell, but maybe you won't. Good luck!
