Mineral White Paint Dilemma

Just bought an RKP front lip and was going to bring to a body shop to remove the oem splitters (beta linked) which will probably damage the paint and would need a respray.

I am now reading that this color is impossible to match and any body work will never be 100%. I am not sure this is worth the risk to end up with a bumper that does not match.

Thoughts?

I had no issue when my bumper was replaced. A quality shop should be able to blend it.

I had my front bumper and mirror caps (2012 E93 M3, mineral white metallic) repainted a few years ago just due to minor/typical rock chips over the years.. they did give me the disclaimer before painting that it may not be a perfect match, but it turned out great. I'd never know it was repainted. Just use a good quality shop and you should be fine.
