aaddzz123 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 1ao is a pretty difficult colour to match. I've seen a few glanzas that have had just one panel painted and you can see the colour difference. A lot of colours have a different shade, 3 isn't actually bad, as some can have like 8 different shades lol... It would be really anal but if you were to do it properly and try get the best finish, you would have to blend the paint into surrounding panels and re lacquer the whole panels which you went over. But to get as good a match you can without doing that, as said above, I would recommend going to a local shop and getting it matched. It's not worth skimping £5 and getting it online and ending up with a miss match. Different case for universal paints and consumables hence ebay . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I bought some 040 white from my local motorspares I had a choice of 4 I took a risk and seems a pretty darn good match for a rattle can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kavan-k Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Yeah I know bud, I think hondas championship white has 7!Just bizarre how many different shades there is, why not just have 1! Lol. My pal is doing it and he's a body man, the paint from where he gets it is £60 a litre lol just trying to get everything sorted bit by bit and then all I will have to do is pay him for the work, was going to have a go at giving it a slight prep aswell but I might make a mess of it haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
