Color matching body kit to car color. How hard will it be for a good body shop to color match the car's color, so that the body kit is the same color. Are the panit colors coded by a color number.

Should be no problem at all for any reputable shop. They will take your paint code from the label located inside DS door jamb. I had my Wings West Kit painted off the car (my car is Black) by the guys that do all my work and it looks perfect.
Even if your paint is faded, they will run a special meter hooked up to their computer paint mixing system (sorry I don't know exactly what they call this) over your paint. The readings it receives will adjust the mixture of the original paint to ensure that the new paint matches the old.
I didn't have any problems with this as my 2K Ws6 only has 29K miles on it and it is garage kept at all times.
