i am VERY happy with the results, the camera makes the paint seem a little lighter because of the flash...i can tell you that they match very closely.....makes the tubes less obvious in the day, which is what i wanted

nice fix, very nice...but now the tubes look "ghey" and could be mistaken for grab bars (well the ones on the side anyway)
