advice on odd colour panels needed?
Posted: Wed Oct 12, 2011 8:08 pm
Any ideas on this? i have been restoring a traveller, i have bare metaled all the panels zinc primed, primed flattened etc, i painted them in cellulose approx 4-6 weeks ago, i had to buy some extra paint as i was running low on paint, i didn't leave it until i was empty i had about 2 litres left, and ordered another 2 litres, i wasn't convinced with the colour match as my previous shade had a tint, so i sent it back then recieved it back again and mixed it all together, and basically all the showing exterior panels would be painted with this so i thought no worries.
I painted the o/s door and wing together so i wouldn't have colour problems, and did the same with the other side.
Basically i flattened and moped my o/s door and wing the other day and the colours are different one is white the other is cream and with them fitted it does notice especially as they are right next to each other, i did mop the wing twice due to some scratches from cheap wet and dry, but i still can not explain this? i have broke threw anyway and am going to respray the wing.
I just don't understand how 2 panels sprayed at the same time with the same paint in the same manner can be a different colour? i even lightly moped the small lower lip on the wing just to see if the colour was darker, its the same as the rest of the panel, i thought i may have over cooked it but i didn't and it was constantly wet and mopped at a low speed.
I have had them in the sun here and there and in a heated room here and there i just don't understand.
I am not happy with my paint supplier who said to me ''oh we didn't make a note of the colour you had so we will try and get it as near as possible'' i bought the first batch about a week before!
I am gutted as the finish is amazing and the car will be stunning! this may be going on ebay as its driving me mad!! any help would be really appreciated as my hair is going greyer and falling out by the day!!!!
Also i am nearly out of paint!!!
cheers
