Re: FTO GR Front Bumper Midnight Blue [Wanted]
Looking at the pictures you've uploaded (even with the filters on) it's quite obviously mismatched. The average person probably won't notice it, but it's always something I look for and puts me off.destinationtoby wrote:No it doesn't...The fenders are a different silver...

It is only obviouse with the fenders !!! Any average person can see that.. It Was because of a bad batch of paint..... The rest of the things I painted, like the front bar, like what this bloke is talking about, matches with the rest of my car PERFECTLY , and it was 1/4 of the price, and great quality... So I pointed it out as an option. What's the problem ???-Nighthawk- wrote:Looking at the pictures you've uploaded (even with the filters on) it's quite obviously mismatched.

Need some better pictures, I can't judge the panels properly from that (besides the fender fitting horribly)

The picture shows the the bumper and bonnet and the color match Or missmatch...the camera was about 5cm away and u still need a closer one
this explains a lot ....

Re: FTO GR Front Bumper Midnight Blue [Wanted]
Getting the pros to do it doesn't gaurantee a good paint job though, This is how my old bar looked, the paint match was way off, and it cost me about $400..
Ignore the crash damage...

It currently has no paint on it, so it looks even worse now haha!

Yeah you'll definitely need to go to a reputable panel beater, that's a terrible job. I'm surprised you paid

Yea, It annoyed me, but the car had already been away for a while, so I couldn't be bothered getting it redone.

Or have another go at it and still only cost you half.. You just have to have enough suitable time and patience..
You tube should help you out a lot with a DIY
