    Years ago I worked in a body shop, doing paint work. As long as the mixer follows the paint code to the exact GRAM of colors and metallic that go into making a color unique, it should match perfectly. Surprisingly, whites and other light colors are more likely to mismatch

    You are right , we had a white Civic that got bumped from behind, it took the body shop several tries to get the white to match.

    My concern would be getting the metallic to “float” right. I’ve seen metallic repaints that didn’t reflect the light the same as the original paint. Color was spot on it still didn’t match the original.

    Here is my 22 ORP at the detailer to clean off the Cosmoline I oversprayed while rust proofing. So far I added a 1” front Cornfed spacer lift to get rid of some rake and some MT Baja Boss ATs in the factory size. I have a Bilstein 6112/5100 kit with some rear coils sitting in the basement for a 2/1 lift, but can’t bring myself to install it just yet. I’m really enjoying it as is right now, so I’ll wait until I feel the itch for some new tires before I install the Bilsteins.1E06DB7F-63F3-4797-B86C-270BCFB48B11.jpg
