Im sick and tired of the bull**** head****s and promises of people saying they can match paint properly. I'm after someone who can match paint as close to 100% as possible, im after a straight yellow colour and so far 2 times it has been ****ED. The colour is based on devil yellow with a bit more orange look to it, so if there is any painters out there or people that have had an experience with a paint shop that will match it as close to spot on as can be, LET ME KNOW THANKS. I don't want people posting up saying such and such is good, I want proven results without the **** around. Thanks.

a colour match will never be 100% and as its a custom colour its even harder to match... just get it close enough and do some blending in...

Bring ur car to FATPSI, u even have freEze dK backing him. If its to far for u take off ur petrol flap and bring ur paint to spray painter and ask him to mix and match for u. Custom colours are always a pain in the a s s... Advice from an x aprentice sprayer.
