Default My close to Sebring silver s2000

I think that my S which is suppose to Sebring Silver metallic,is just a shade darker than its suppose to be.I know that it had been repainted before.This doesnt bother me,but Im probably going to buy a new bumper in the near future.I dont know the color code of the paint on my car but are there any shops around florida that will paint my new bumper have it match with the car.
what would you do if you were in my situation?

Im not even completely sure that my S is a shade different than regular Sebrings.

a good body shop can get close, and the bumpers don't exactly match the rest of the car from the factory

#1 Make sure you take it to a shop that has a lifetime warranty. It will cost you a little bit more, but you get what you pay for. If it has been repainted before, a lot of times body shops will have two or three different paint codes for factory colors (they can get the code off of your door panel, or using your VIN #), so it is possible that happened to your vehicle the last time it was painted. If you take it to a legitimate body shop, they have spray out cards, which they can use to match the paint to your vehicle specifically, but chances are it will not completely match.

its hard to match fresh metallic against the rest of an untouched car. and if you do a site search, you can find the sebring color code
