According to this magazine article the crimson pearl paint was a new color for the Q in 93.. now im ot sure if that means the active Q or the regular Q

I just got these body parts

It looks like the same color, but that's off a 1990. WIll they match?

Shoulda checked the VIN code... The burgundy berry looks "redder" than the crimson pearl... Which is what I have on my Q.....

FWIW I dont think it will look that bad for a while when you can get it painted...

I'm going to order a bunch of paint from paintscratch.com

Yea I don't think it will look too bad in the meantime. I needed the front bumper cover anyway, and I will probably still save money over ordering one from Infiniti at 380 or so, then having to pay for the repaint.

I saw a burgundy berry in person, and its a sportier brighter color.

Agreed.. But Im biased.....

Personally unless its PERFECT, I dont think the black looks as good on the Q... But ive never seen a perfectly maintained black Q45 with as good as new paint..

My paint looks phenominal where its not scratched! :)

Ouch :eek:, you miss one meet and he goes for the throat ;).

In all honesty, the truth hurts. I have rock chips all over and at some point must have used some magnetic treatment on the side, it just "attracts" doors :(.
