RE: Caution - Not for weak stomachs - Update
ORIGINAL: mahal3680 ORIGINAL: GypsyBill Well I spoke to soon about the paint being a "perfect" match... while it is the correct color, it lacks the pearl (sparkles) that the original has... sooooooooooooo it is back to the bodyshop to see what they are going to do about a better match... this car is too new for this mis-match.. |
RE: Caution - Not for weak stomachs - Update #3
Color me embarassed... the paint dude at the bodyshop pointed out the rear bumper as the same color as the newly painted front bumper.. just ever so slightly darker making the pearl coat a little harder to see... my excuse for the previous rant is my love of the car and my piss-poor eyesight... (being a pessimists doesn't help)...[&o]

RE: Caution - Not for weak stomachs - Update #3
Metal Flake colors are the hardest to match. The body shop I use does not order the factory paint because they say they can match the paint better with custom colors, they say the factory paint will not match. They use Sikkens paint, but they do say that matching the exact amount of metal flake is the hardest part, and is very evident if they don't match correctly. I had a new hood put on my truck and luckily when I had it done, they had an SRT-10 in the same Bright Silver of my truck that they had mixed paint for, and it came out perfect. When they did my hood, they wanted to blend the paint into the fenders to just make sure it looked good, but I did not want them to mess with the fenders but it came out great, you can't tell the difference.
Good Luck Mike |
