Looks like you guys were smart enough to do the right amount of blending in order to get an excellent color match. The "panel painting" approach is nonsense.

Agreed! We spend more time than the industry average to make sure the "Metallic painting process" is done right!!
Thanks guys!
How many cayman's on here have a clear bra?

Looks great. Would you mind PMing me the price of the parts used (minus the clear bra) for the bumper project? Thanks!

That front bumper looks great on it!
BTW, I also like the red Alfa Romeo in the background.

Hey guys! Thanks for all responses!
When light hits the paint, it is reflected at different angles on different surfaces, example: (hood and fender) So... if you were to use the 'eye dropper' tool to match the color code of the car from one spot to another, it will be different. Just as your eye sees a sparkle in the paint itself.
The car is being lit from atop, not spot lighted. This adds to the variance in color. If you look at the picture, the factory paint doesn't look like it matches due to the flat surfaces and bubbled surfaces of the vehicle. Just as when your car is newly waxed, the light will create reflections making some parts look lighter and others darker.
These pictures are not taken in a professional photo booth, they are taken from the shop floor and if you have the time to visit us you would see our quality speaks for itself!
Thanks guys! We plan on sharing many more projects!!!
