All ingot silver trucks are not exactly the same. Like I said before it depends how picky you are with having the paint match exactly.
I agree about the paint store. I was referring to (new take offs) OEM ingot silver flares already painted from the factory would match an ingot silver truck.

Not true. They are painted in different places. My sterling gray flares from the factory don't perfectly match the painted metal parts of the trucks.

Well the takeoffs would probably match as good as they did on the truck they came off of which is close enough for most people. I haven't read about anyone bringing their truck back and demanding a repaint because the color of the plastic parts i.e. flares, bumper cover, door handle buckets are slightly off from the color of the metal parts. But I've noticed a slight difference myself. I've also seen paintstore variations not match factory paint perfectly.

If you order from Ford, they will most likely come in black or grey primered. And will need to be painted. If the dealer you order them from has a paint shop, they can paint them for you. Which they will charge you more $$. If you get them from Tasca, probably the same story. At my shop for 4 flares, we'd prob charge around $75 to paint them.

Depends how fast you want them. I could probably get my bushwackers in mid December I need them bad but have to wait for them till next bonus. Just dropped 2500 on the truck and the wife might come unglued not to blame her. If you want pm me my brother in law just bought a set so I could get you a price. You will have to paint mine
