Hi all, i am currently sprucing up my old VN that has been off the road for a couple of years, i have been using spot putty to fill some stone chips and crap and sanding back with 1200 grit .
I got my local Autopro store to mix me 500ml of the original Atlantic White and i am trying to patch the areas with my airbrush.
So far its turning out ok..... but unfortunately the colour isnt an exact match and is a tad yellower than i would have liked ... hardly noticable ... but im a lil picky!
It was mixed by a new guy so i wonder if he might have overdone the yellow and if perhaps i could get the remaining 80% of the tin tinted whiter.
I guess the paint has fadded, but once the bumper is off the paint behind isnt a match for the touch up stuff either.
I needed to replace a guard and the pinstripes didnt match so now i am about to apply some new ones after i have already removed the old ones.
The dilema is i want to cut and buff the car soon, and also apply the pinstripes..... if it was you what would you do.
A) Apply first then cut and polish.
B) Cut and polish the whole car then clean the area for the pinstripes apply then re-wax.
C) Something else like Tape the area first with electrical tape, and then cut and polish then apply.
cheers~
