Default Front end respray

Evening all

Has anyone had a front end respray? Does silver grey match easy enough? Looking at tidying front end up and wheels refurbed. Just had the roof re laquered and picked a bad stonechip up that's blistered the laquer so decided to go whole hog and get the car immaculated.

That sounds about right. My front bumper needs doing after running in service.

Im so cheesed off as had the roof re laquered recently and it looked amazing only to pick a bad stonechip up, this time round im going to put some stoneguard wrap on the roof, front end re spray and wheels refurbed should look amazing.
