I went to Napa and ask for the custom paint but it seems darker.
Now I do not understand what color I have to ask.
1E3 ----> dark Gray, with code at Napa it says" Phantom Grey, but my color suppoosed to be Pearl Grey.
There are two codes on the door: 1E3/BF95. Which one should I go for?
TIA

I know that it's 1E3--> Pearl Grey, but Napa mix custom paint 1E3--> Phantom Grey, it's darker, a lot darker. I called them and was told that the color can match only 50%, I told them that what is the custom paint, it supposed to match the color, if I was told that you can match only 50%, then I supposed not to buy it from you. I got the refund. They cannot do it, they suggested me to take my car to bodyshop. I don't have to take it to body shop if I have the same paint, I know what to do.
