having been down this painful route before with cameras and scanners and military paints I warn you that the technology is not best suited for "our" vehicles as the paint it is designed to match are high gloss paints.

That is where it all goes off the rails, trust me.

Close will be good, a match is a wet dream fantasy.

I took a vehicle fresh off the boat from the Uk with a fresh paint job and didnt get a a match by a long chalk.

Went by eye on a colour chart and nailed it
