Default Window louvres

Is it possible to purchase window louvres pre-painted for my car, and will it match my paint?

I have a tungsten gray mustang.

I bought my quarter window louvers and side scoops prepainted from hubcapsplus.com and the match was perfect. I had my local Ford dealership's bodyshop paint my Astra-Hammond rear window louvers and again, a perfect match.

bought mine there too, perfect match, but i chipped a tiny spot somehow. Washing maybe?

Either way i like mine, but if cost and painting wasnt an issue i would have went with another probably.

I don't forsee a problem unless you have a custom paint. If its a factory paint color they should be using the same paint from Ford.

Bought mine from the same place, seems like there are points where it may not match at times, but I've come to realize that it's just the paint and different angles between the louvers and the body

All works out since I've got a tungsten too, so hopefully my this will help
