#1 do not have 2 gallons of different but very similar colors.
#2 dont be and idiot like me and paint half the car with the wrong color, and not realize it till you roll the car outside...
#3 realizing your stupid mistake caused you to add 2 extra days worth of sanding and repainting the darn car to make it match...

God I feel like a dumb a$$.

oh well gonna fade the existing color with the new one... Darker in the front faded to lighter in the back.... Who knows maybe it will look good

 

you forgot to add....

#4 priceless...

jk..hope it works out

 

you know, your right...... #4 feeling like an a$$ infront of all of your friends... PRICELESS...

 

Hehe. GL getting it all together, with a good fade 2 very similar colors should be easily overlooked.

 

lets see some pics !?!?

 

Pics should be up tomorrow afternoon, I have been up all night reassembling the car... fun fun.. Its finally getting there... keep checking this thread as I will definatly put up pics of the finished product

 

#5 Start a thread to allow 50k+ forum members to flame you

 

Hey it happens, oh well.....

 

So, were they mislabled or what?

 

nah i had mixed up 2 different but very similar colors at work one day one is from a 05 SER and the other an 05 mazda RX8 combine the two together and tweak the mix just right and you have a very nice color. Well I grabbed the can that was not tweaked, working in a garage at 2:30 in the morning painting under florescent lights, it looked great and matched perfectly, wheel it out the next morning after drying and OMFG it was very very off darker in the front and very bright and light in the back..... I dont think I have ever been so pissed..... oh well its fixed now.

 

 

How hard is it to learn to pain. I have a compressor with a painting utencil, and I didn't know if this was one of those things that's very tedious or what.

 

Well at leat you got it fixed now.

 

painting is not really hard at all. It just takes practice.

 

hmm...i think i better try it on small things first then. i might be interested in it as a job though in the future, is that what you do?
sorry if im going OT.

 

at least it looked better than anything that came out of pimp my ride
