It will be darker due to the original paint fade. I used the OEM paint on my new cowl hood (the body paint was only four years old and was always garaged), and it was noticibly darker, not bad, but visible looking closely. Metallics are hard to match. Complete all the body work, entirely, then paint the whole thing. :cheers:
that what i had planned. i was just wondering how close it is to factory. sounds pretty close though!
