If Paintscratch.com can't come up with a match (which still mystifies me), you're choices are essentially down to a Subaru dealership or a body shop.
You said early-on,"Right now I see silver-esque splotches all over." Was it a spray can you ordered from Paintscratch? dcb |

No, it was a bottle. And instead of being black/mica paint w/red chips in it, it was a dark silver paint.

It really sounds like they just sent the wrong color (even if they say they didn't)
I know you said that the car was a one owner, but isn't it possible that the previous owner had the car painted?

Find a used car dealer friend. They normally have touchup guys that will do it for you for like 20 bucks for a small area.

Was the paint you got from Paintscratch labeled correctly? If your car has been repainted, it's certainly possible that the "black" the paint shop used wasn't a match for the original Subaru ebony. dcb |

Don't just give up on anything. There is far too much information available on this site... and the web in general. We don't have to fail!! ( now after my pep talk, I will begin the process of doing my 2 svx's, starting with the licquid silver and I will get back to you! LOL |
