paint problem
hi all, im trying to touch up a bit of paint on my door bottom but am having trouble matching the colour! its a 65 saloon in green. ive so far had two tins of spray from ESM, almond green which is quite a lot darker so ive tried sage green which is to light! ESM say it should be almond green but its a lot lighter, any suggestions ? cheers matt

The car may have been re-sprayed in the past in a non-original colour. You might be better off going to a paint suppliers and getting the colour matched.
Cheers John - all comments IMHO

The problem is that paint is often faded by sunlight, but it's such a gradual process that it goes unnoticed ~ until a touch-up is required.
Getting a touch-up pen made to suit the current colour might be the best way forward, as John suggests.

Happy Minoring!
