Thread: How do you match old factory paint?

i sprayed many indy lite wheels were they would get finger prints that would bleed thru on the mag wheels were the DOW 9 would not cover 100% or get rim marks from breaking the tire off the rims with a micro leaks the rims would get the rim drops re shot with dau 75 with dx80 . then shoot the face of the rim to get a fresh look . i did get very close to the DOW 9 with DX265 with DAR 9000 back at 40% were you would want to be at would be 35% with the flattener dx 265 is only for one part paint ,try to fined some acrylic lacquer it will lay nice and flat with not much shine . or you can go this way if you can not fined any lacquer . long as you know you can not top coat with any thing with a hot thinner and may need a be striped if it go s side ways we used to shoot acrylic enamel with no gloss hardner and lacquer thinner with flattener will work good to .i will added that you must mix the hell out of it and strain the paint very good .test panels is a good idea. its never going to be 100% as your finsh as been weather and aged by the sun . the sun plays hell on colors over the years . the old painters joke was when did you know when lacquer was dry ? when it was cracked
