i noticed it....but thats because i detail cars for spare cash and am absolutely obsessed with paint https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.p...38121 Theres a thread for you about "spit-shining your car" (basically layering wax but not removing previous coats) that technique might help bring a deeper shine to the lighter hood and even it out.

Thanks Zach. I am wondering, how much would the primer I use effect the tint? I used a traditional sand and fill grey. If I had used black would the color be deeper?
|
Are you having the bumper and fenders resprayed or the hood, cuz the hood looks faded, new color looks ALOT better.
|
the hood was painted to match the rest of the car, and it turned out lighter.
Fd3BOOST, im not too sure how much the primer affects the paint. Normally primer coats are grey, so id imagine the rest of your car's primer is grey as well, leaving the paint matching to be the culprit. |
Yea that was my assumption as well. I was only curious.

I had a problem with mikes bumper when I sprayed it, it was
grey primer from wherever he got it from, I put 4 coats of red base on it, just like I did the touch ups on the fenders. When I went to bolt it all up the bumper didnt match the car with the grey primer it was hard to tell whenthe red had total coverage so it cast a dark hue on the red. I had to sand and put more paint on it, then it was ok. Lessons are always being learned, I would quit what I was doing if I didnt look to learn something everyday. You have to realize paint is mixed by people and prone to variations. The application methods can also change the shade Now you see why most shops wont spray panels without blending into the other panels, its VERY hard to match it that way |

I just spoke with the paint shop manager. He seems to be accomadating. Tells me once the car is back together drive it over and they will remix the 2 quarts I have left. I will also basically demand that they also give me the corrected color two quarts that I have already used. OK so everyone can have a good laugh at my multi-colored car at Rotorfest. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blush.png
responsible for the color match and to test it before applying to insure the color |
