Not True.... I've watched them match paint chips to account for fade.

When my dad had spoilers put on his cars, he drove the car to the shop, and they had paint chips they used to match the fade of the color. Then they simply paint the spoiler the color of the chip.... They had ~10-15 versions of green for the MG, and ~5 of Silver for the corvette.

I've also seen them mix the adjusted color codes at the shop my buddies father owned as well.

No need to fade he paint if you chip match first. It may cost more than $90, but certainly shouldn't be $200... They are just painting the spoiler itself, but just need to paint match directly to the car first.

Again just me personally - but I would go with local paint matching. But hey $90 is certainly a deal if you just want it close in color.
