Cully77 Posted March 18, 2012 Report Posted March 18, 2012 You must not have seen many VHT jobs then lol I think he's seen a few... I've seen people who prep and follow the steps correctly and it comes out pretty well, but I tend to agree that almost any bodyshop paint job is going to look nicer. Quote
pwmin Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Posted March 21, 2012 ugh, I've spent so much time trying to figure this color out and have tried so many different colors. With all the money I've spent, I should have just ordered a $30 shipped spray can from automotivetouchup or something. I think I finally found an almost exact match...FORD REDFIRE. I just finished my last coat and am getting ready to clear it. Looks like it might be just a tad darker, but that's okay...better than being lighter IMO. I got rid of the silver below the molding strip. I'll see how it turns out if I'm going to paint the little silver/gray strip above it or not. It's going to be dark soon, so I'll have to get pictures tomorrow night. Quote
WhatTheFehl Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 You don't have any auto paint supply stores around you that can match the exact color professionally? Quote
pwmin Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Posted March 21, 2012 You don't have any auto paint supply stores around you that can match the exact color professionally?yeah, probably, but I'm impatient, lol Quote
WhatTheFehl Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 yeah, probably, but I'm impatient, lol It takes 10 minutes and costs $25? After getting custom mixed touch up paint from auto paint supply stores the last few times I've needed it, I'll never get it anywhere else... Quote

VHT doesn't even come close to bodyshop job. Quote
pwmin Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Posted March 24, 2012 well, this new color isn't exactly perfect, either...sure I'll get sick of it soon enough Quote
Cully77 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 how many layers of paint do you have on there now Quote
