Colour match...What do you think?

[gazbenger]

After loads of problems with finding hologram grey for the bumstrips, i had a can mixed from auto paint which was silver!They are sending me a replacement. In the meantime i had already got some mixed by a local body shop...and the paint is also not great...What do you all think:

Hard to tell! I think people would notice the white tyre paste first!

didn't your clio have leather seats in ph2 1.6?

 

[gazbenger]

nope its a dynamique +, so usual spec with air con and electric sunroof...no leather . From a distance it looks fine,is just close up

at first i made the mistake of putting thin coats of laquer on, which made it look all rough and a different color close up, as it was kind of matt (the badge is how it should be finish wise)

i sanded the laquer back as middo told me to, and put a real thick coat of laquer on until it was nearly running... left it to cure in the sun for a few days and its the same finish up close and far away...

Hologram is a b**ch to colour match - looks great when you get it right though!

I found that as well. Tried DIY'ing it first, but ended up getting it done professionally.

If you find a good place to colour match hologram grey let me know. I want mine done as well!
