Andy UK300 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 recently had my bonet and bumper resprayed after my addicent with cyclist. i am 110% positive the paints do not much. they are a diferent colour completely, not just new paint vs old paint. am i right in thinking the uk300 paint was WR Mica Blue which is a limited edition paint? they are saying this is the right colour as was given off from the chasis code or something but they didnt actually say which paint that was, i also spoke to guy about my concern with the paint before it was done and he himself told me that the paint was a few shades different from the standard impreza blue it deffinatly isnt the same paint on my bonet as it was! help []
ANDYJDMSTI Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 when i had my stone chips done i got the bonnet, bumper and wings all done, seemingly doing that it is easier to match and blend. And it only cost £300............bargain!!
drb5 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Even just another coat of lacquer can change the look/colour of the paintwork. It's of course impossible for me to tell, without seeing though... I will say that plenty of colours have more than one varient. Ford Diamond White for example, has about 30 shades!
Andy UK300 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Posted December 7, 2006 also the bonet has a patch now which looks really really dull, dunno what has happend but i am exrteeeemly pissed off

And it only cost £300............bargain!! Andy, where did you go for your respray ?? Thats a pretty good price, my cars got the usual motorway stone chips over the front of the bonnet and would agree that a front respray always looks better than just one panel at any one time. Craig.

Andy UK300 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Posted December 9, 2006 well been up to see them. it is the right paint code. but he also agrees they do not match and something is wrong with it. so has agreed to take it back in and spray it again. so pleased they are admiting something isnt right!
