How close is Flint Mica and Smoky Granite Mica

I wanted to do the 08+mirror mod, but my 06 is Flint Mica and the rest of the years are Smoky Granite Mica...just wanted to see if it the colors are similar

According to the color chart it looks pretty darn close:

I think you'd be able to see the difference. IMO, the smoky granite mica has more of a bluish tint to it than the flint mica.

Your best bet is to have a good body shop repaint the mirror covers for you, otherwise it will stand out.
