    What can one reasonably expect in terms of color match on a used camper shell (within the same color scheme of course)? I was looking to go new, but with long delivery times (quoted 12-16-weeks) and expense, I am opening up to used shells. If I drive 10-hrs to get one I'd hate to be surprised by a way-off color match. Anyone recently go this route?

    Mostly stock with a few minor mods.
    I picked up a used black topper for my MGM truck and looked into getting it color matched at a couple auto body places. Ended up deciding I liked the black topper on the grey truck and just left it. I think it's a good contrast.

    If it’s the same color code it will be very close but not perfect.
