Here is my main concern, I've ordered SSII. How easy is it to repaint cars in M specific colors. I assume most body shops will have a tough time matching the color exactly. I rather have the orange deflectors than to have a mismatched bumper.

Anyone have experience on how to best address the repaint of M specific colors. I live in Ohio and would need the work to be done locally. (i.e don't suggest a body shop in CA, but rather a solution that is viable on the national level)
First quality body should not have a problem matching the color, especially if they use factory brand paint. M-specific does not make any difference. Find out who the lokal BMW, Mercedes and Porsche dealers use for repairs.
