Hi i was wondering if there are different shades of oc2 paint,ive got a friend who has just had a front bumper sprayed and it looks a lighter shade than the rest of the car,im about to have some spraying done and want to avoid this if possible,or is it just hard to match new paint with old especially when metallic thanks for any suggestions

 

very hard to blend in metallic colors if you just spraying one panel/bumper etc. if you wanted a perfect match, you would have to spray up to the next panels and blend them in

im not an expert btw, just what ive been told

wiley

 

ask prodriverules mate this is his bag has his ow body/spray shop hopefully doing my car next year

 

thanks for replys ive been told its real tricky matching new with old and even worse with metallic im considering a full respray but its a bit pricey

 

prodrive rules quoted me about £350 for my front end to be done which i think is a pritty decent price he mixes all his own paint aswell for a better match

 

were is this prodrive person based
as i got the same colour and the stone rash is all over , have just ordered some chipex to try first , but that will be a long shoot

 

herefordshire/Leominster i would pm him and ask not saying that is his normal price for every one he offesred me that as a favour but he seems a pritty decent guy and prob would imho

 

02C is normally a very good match, whatever the age of car.

It is a pearl, and easier than metallics.
