There's no way that the paint is going to miraculously blend & match the rest of the body Jim. I'd have thought that they would look at the paint under sunlight as well as fluorescent lighting.

You & Carol have a fun cruise & I'll give your regards to the National Guard on Sunday!

I will worry about it another day.

I ran into a nice guy with a silver C-6 vert this evening and he complemented me on the new nose and the great job the paint shop did. Except in direct sunlight, it seems to match pretty good.

Trainman,

The new frt cover looks great... However, the paint lightening up in 2-3 weeks??? Puhlease, I'm embarassed that someone in my profession would try to pawn that BS excuse off.

Check with Blown'NC and ask about the front cover, hood, spoilers and canards we panel shot in silver.

The problem you have now is the fender doesn't match the door. In order to make it match, they'll have to blend into the door. (just make sure they remove ALL the trim)

Good luck with the repairs.

Mark
