PS Color Matching

I have a Gunmetal Metalic car, the hood is white and the bumper cover is white(black in some pictures), and I can't even come close to color matching the car. I've tryed using the HOW TO: COLOR CHANGE sticky process, but that doesn't work for this. Some help would be great.

White is a really hard color to change, mainly because you don't see a lot of reflections in most pictures of white cars, so when you change the color, it turns out looking like a flat color instead of a glossy reflective color., but post some pictures and maybe someone else can help out.

I'd like to know how it's done, and if anyone can do, i'd appreciate it. I also understand that the bumper is a flat white, not glossy, so it may not look right when color matched.

That's a better attempt than I had. Thanks 87CIZ, i'll just go for the original paint color instead of trying to view it first. I know it'll look good.
