yeah ive learned that today.. too yellow / too red / too grey. why cant it just be simply white :cheer:
just knocks your confidence a bit when have to do reworks etc.. lately had a few.. really busy at mo too so really dont have the time to be re – doing.
[quote=”smooth” post=25841]I think you mean Solid white. What paint are you using? really depends on how good it is.
Insurance wont pay shops in my area to blend adjacent panels on quarter panel relpacement jobs so it comes down to having a good paint system.
If the variant color chips arent telling the true story there is something wrong with either it being a low end paint system or the paint isnt being mixed properly.
Most solid colors i could panel paint complete but i still dont i just blend out the repair and re-clear the panel.
Its a good habit to get into to blend adjacent panels because it isnt worth getting luckey with one and haveing to redo some others. Do it right the first time.[/quote]
Yes solid white.. we use octoral paints.
yeah i painted a solid white and was a mile out. :blush: looked really bad.. redone with a lighter shade as was 3 and all were very close and still didnt look great but was acceptable..
i thought oh it will by alright this time i wont blend its only a solid white.. ended up spending all day today correcting the damm thing.. yeah totally agree with do it right 1st time etc.. thats why asking really do you blend most/all just to play it safe? .. im really thinking maybe i should just blend everything as lately just not totally happy with matches on some.. obv most colours i allways blend like silvers etc:rofl True sorry solid white
thanks for reply.. 😉 this thread should be interesting.. so you would blend even a straight white?
