lol i get them to match all the time idk what your doing but they match if you get the right paint code

by aresol matches everytime, but its also $34 a can lol

the duplicolour crap never really works imo.

yeah ya marines, sand, prime (light coats) paint (light coats) 2000 wet sand just to take the bumps off, then clear, more clear, etc.. then a 2000 wet, polish, wax.

you can probably skip the wet sanding since they are quarter sized lol

Monkey where do u get that paint from?

sherwin williams automotive.

spray bombed my roof rails, spoiler, SE lip and now tail lights.. always matches perfect (after clear coat and polish lol)

Lowered the rear of my car

Baked my headlights and corners. Split them apart. Getting ready for a retro this weekend.

I'm not talking Duplicolor, I am talking custom mixed to your paint code, aerosol cans. Sure it may be close, but it doesn't match.

Your eyes would probably not be able to tell the difference. I used color paint from both Sherwin Williams as well as automotivetouchup and you can't tell the difference. For most guys its more cost effective to do it themselves instead of paying a body shop to do it.

only thing i ever notice is that my stuff isnt always AS glossy as stock.. but hell car's dirty most days so who cares lol

and its only when your inches away can you even remotely notice.

the stuff i buy is the same spray used in a professional paint gun, just from a can instead.

saw this yesterday...

^^^ LOLz everytime you post up a picture makes me want to move to that area...................not

weather here.... = BS! that was yesterday.. it was snowing.. on May 1st....
