Tweet

well john did you look at what he is trying to match ? in the good old days the paint did not have as many size flake sizes and pearls .and flip. tri coats ... as they do now i spent many a days time making test panels to get some thing look good. spend 8 hours playing with paint when your only getting two hours to paint a header panle. so many times i sanded with 1000 . down the hood and front fenders or were i needed to blend and do a 5 mile blend .no one ever came back for bad color match .back in the good old day RM match good on GM cars Acme on chryslers
