Re: [DML] Fascia paint

>From a color standpoint, Stainless is much more a black based color 
than it is Silver based.  For example when you look at "Silver" 
silverware compared to "Stainless Steel" Silverware.  The real Silver 
appears VERY pale almost white-ish while the Stainless appears to 
have a deeper/darker look because of it being a more black based 
color.  

For this reason I think that is why they chose a black based grey for 
the fascias.  I have seen a silver fascia and against the Stainless 
body panels it looked like it was too white similar to the real 
Silver example above.  I have also seen a grey bumper that was (too) 
blue based gray and it too looked way off because of not having the 
proper base.  It is a case of getting a grey that is in the proper 
color family base and not so much the depth of the color.  

I have noticed in some photos in certain light the fascias on  my car 
(that are original) match the stainless almost perfectly.

Hopefully this makes a little sense...just my 2 cents and opinion
