As would I have.

What do you think a paint shop would charge per swatch to recreate the samples on the dealer color wall?
Ditto. I even offered to pay to get a swatch for "a couple of hundred dollars" and got no takers at the dealer.
I know these swatches exist. They have to.
I saw a video not long ago taken at a dealer in Germany and the sales consultant walks over to a wide filing cabinet with skinny drawers and opens it to show all the colors and even leather swatches.
Why US dealers don't have this, or at least the big high volume dealers is beyond me.
