You can absolutely color match, almost any paint supply store can do it using a spectrometer (color matching machine). Easiest way out is after the repair, have the paint shop make up the formula on your door (they will mix the factory color for you) then spray and blend it into the area surrounding it. For fool proof matching, start out with the factory color, and mix enough for the whole car to be shot. Either road works out well (I tend to do the whole car these days, back in the day I blended a lot more often). |

This is you, so you must be online

If you're lazy *ahem* like me, it's easier to just source the front fender(s) from a salvage yard/pick n' pull then to drill and pull. But if you have body work experience you can make it look like it never happened. I've seen some drill and pull work that would make a freight train back up and take a dirt road... but those are the exception. Congrats on the car man! I know what it's like to FINALLY get what you've been looking so long for! |
