So I bought this grille online and have been staring at it for a while and can't tell if it's a different paint code or not. Truck is PW7 - Bright White; but the grille is just a LITTLE different. Light hits it right and it looks like a match, light hits it differently and it doesn't. Wtf.

Just curious as to where you bought your grille from. It dose look like it might be a slit difference in the paint colors.. but really hard to notice.

Is it stone white? SW1



I don't think its stone white. My truck is a 2009 stone white and parked next to a bright white my truck looks tan :)

Its normal for aftermarket paints (pw7) to be pretty far off... Especially on a cloudy day. In direct sunlight it probably wont be as noticeable.

The closest match I have found (better than duplicolor pw7) is just the brightest white paint you can buy off the shelf at walmart.

Stone white is creamer coloring than bright white. So I think the grill is close just not perfect to truck. I'd leave it, alone.
