All the BMWs I've seen in Mineral White don't seem to have such extreme individual tone discrepancies, so I don't know how having my car's paint matched in-house really would have made a difference. I'm not an expert in paint, but a 3 stage painting process for white seems a little arduous. It's better than the stupid orange s**t reflectors that come with it but nonetheless I obsess over every detail and I can't stop looking at these painted reflectors and wish they came out better. What would your support manager be able to do?

Having the vehicle in-house allows us to tint the reflectors and try different gun angles for the pearl coat. All pearl paints are called 3 stage as the pearlescent coat is a stage separate from the base coat and clear coat. This is what gives the paint the color changing property.
