#1: Paint Finishes Author: RicH, Location: South East UKPosted: Sun Oct 17, 2010 4:06 am ---- If i take some bits to the body shop to paint will they look exactly the same as my original paint or slightly darker. Only when i resprayed my handles with the same paint colour it came out a bit darker. Is this due to the original paint being 10 yrs old or the way i sprayed?
Just want the car to look as clean as poss'

Take the car with and get them to match it with a swatch
