Thank you guys for the input, today started with a used car off our lot (toyota 1c8) which is a terrible color to blend. I had some of this color at home ( Matrix brand) so I thought I would give it a try. Did my normal routine, 800 dry,scotchbrite edges,blending add,stepped out color,drop coat,clear.Turned out perfect. Next car was Toyota 1D4, repair was on edge of hood, had to blend fender and paint front cover. Decided to try to blend color into the blending add while it was still wet, basically the opposite of what I would do normally. You have to do your blending with your first coat and pull the base coat toward your repair. Let this flash and cleared, looked great, no mottling, halo. Next car was Toyota 1G3 which is another PIA. New deck lid,blend both qtrs, masked qtrs,sealed deck lid, with one gun sprayed blending add and next gun blended color on qtrs while blend add was still wet, finished base on deck lid and clear. Turned out great. I keep trying this and keep you updated. I don’t know why this paint is sooooo expensive, it’s nothing special. Thanks again for the ideas.
