It's not that hard to blend, body shops do it on a daily basis, hell I blended my bumper myself and it came out flawless
It won't always look perfect, but u usually can't tell

some shops have a machine that takes a sample of your paint and then mixes the colour to match and then ur set..

well u wont be able to tell im going to be spraying the hole side half of the car. so old paint and new paint wont be right next to each other. i dont think u could tell with the hood and the trunk.

just make sure no dumb ass is mixing your paint... because then you're definatley going to get a mismatch in colours...

i can probably get paint for you for cheap from my school..let me know

Chiny-J

yeah i got the paint from centennial college. i used the PPG paint system that they have there. but yah, if you dont measure the proper amount of paint for each colour properly, you're fuked...

what sucks is that i just noticed that the paint on my side skirts is peeling. it looks like i didn't put enough plasticiser...but i thought i put too much...fuk!!!
