DIY ceiling trim/new kitchen? Will it match enough for $1800 saving?

Has anyone ever just gotten their own trim and painted it to match their new kitchen cabinets? Trying to keep the budget down, and the cabinet company charges $1000 for crown and $800 for 3 inch riser, and I know we can get it much less expensive from the hardware store.


If we had some paint color-matched and sprayed the trim (or even had our painter do it), do you think it would be really noticeable that it was "different"? Or we could do just the crown and buy the riser? Would the difference in the paint sheen/finish be so different that it would look horrible, even if done by a professional?


Then it got me thinking about the base trim and shoe moulding too. Would these be noticeable if they weren't painted and ordered from the cabinet company and their special paint process?


Any thoughts or experiences GREATLY appreciated! I think this could possibly be a good way to save some money, but I'd love to hear others' thoughts!

Thanks!
