Oh My!!!!

Red in general might be real hard.
My friend's dad fixed rust "work" that I had done elsewhere in the rear lower quarters. Clearcoat was done by accident (lack of historical knowledge I suppose let's say!) for the entire passenger rear quarter. He went to blow dust off it with the airgun and the clear just flaked EVERYWHERE. I told him after jokingly "what da eff did ya do that for!!!!!? body dust everywhere of course it's gonna get dirty in your garage" haha. But the way he is, he had to make things right. So basically losing his shorts on it (I gave him extra cash, couldn't let that be) he did a "quick-and-dirty" paint match to the roof, door and trunklid. He spent either a couple hours or more dabbing little doses of "tint", whatever the material really is, into the mix and then putting a spot on each panel, let dry, check, lather rinse and repeat...
In flourescent light in the garage, I can see the difference if I really look for it, from the right angle (straight on basically). Any other quick glance, I don't see it immediately. No one else would ever know. If we did it all again and I paid him what it was worth, he'd sit his ass there until it was perfect, and I know he'd make it happen. I gotta learn this stuff from him, or maybe my friend will. He has taught him some, but he's just a bitter ol' guy sometimes, so it's tough. But he won't be around forever...
