Did you have any problem matching the colour? I guess not as you would have been telling us all about it by now!

Should've painted it matte black!
Full rice style...
That way it doesnt look *too* bad if the colours arent exactly matching (faded and brand new). :lol:

well...the paint on the hood, oh....er.....excuse me, bonnet, is straight off the gun :mrgreen: I put 4 coats on it after work today. I prepped and primed it last weekend.

The paint match is a little :? . It is crystal white, but it appears to have a slight green tint to it. Paint changes colour as it dries, so lets hope ey..... :wink:

To be honest Aaron, I think the mismatch will be noticeable.....but hey, the majority of the cars paint is 35 years old....very hard to match!

Mat black would look mad on a sleeper, but not on a dignified old man like Pops 8)

If there is a miss-match with the paint, it shouldn't be overly bad. I mean, if it was 1/2 a panel, then it would be bad, but considering it's a whole bonnet (or "hood" if you have your windows set to American English!). Get wat i'm saying? (or "u diggin me?" if you have your windows set to American English!) :lol:
