That sucks mate, I remember when I resprayed the front end of the VS they didn't colour match properly even after leaving parts like fuel filler caps etc with them for a whole day to get it right.

Front guards, bonnet and bumper ended up being darker than the rest of the car

I want to get my bonnet and front fenders re sprayed as it's covered with old stone chips, I too am worried that the paint won't be matched properly.

I also just noticed that you have calais door trims too. did your statey come with the chrome door handles or did you add them yourself?

Yeah I put the calais leather inserts into the stato trims. Because the stato trims look better and the calais inserts hav the leather and woodgrain.
Yea I got the chrome handles from my wagon. Originally off ebay. Theyre on series 3 statos and caprices.
yea ask around for painters in your area but try to avoid big smash repair shops because they deal with insurance jobs theyll charge more
