Dude im pretty sure there was an old timer car show taht showed how some guy painted it brand new, and then put it in some sort of 'rapid oxidizer' in order to prematurely 'age' the paint on the new components. he carefully watched it, and then actually almost blasted it and hit it with more chemicals to age the paint.

The end result was a pearl that looked instead of brand new, like it had been waxed once a month for twenty years like the rest of the car had. it was pretty amazing and looked like factory.

nothign else comes close. you'r ebetter off repainting the whole car or just dealing with it.

well pearl is kinda a case by case thing, you should blend it into the conecting body part's as needed as far as repainting the whole car...unless the car's paint is shot or badly sunfade'd I would blend it we do custom paint and custom paint repair all day our painter reighi is a amazing painter and man he just has a gift LOL you can check out our website I have to say sorry about it's lack of completion but there are a few of the MANY car's we have done just to give you a idea of the work that is done here as well as many of our friend's and customer can back us up on but all in all it's your car we can have look at it and go from there

art is correct raliegh has the "gift" of amazing paint and body work. I am still saving for widebody and redfire clearcoat metallic paintjob, when school is done I am definately doing the last touches on my project at RC.
