Is it even possible to get a true blue paintjob?

I had my new front cobra bumper painted true blue by a local shop. Did and excellent job on it, matches perfectly.

I would think if they can do that they can do the whole car.

How easy do you think it would be to touch up where the dealer tag was above "gt"? Mine was stuck on, and would not peel off, so I scratched it taking it off.

Hey thanks, I've used Meguirs and waxed and waxed it, but I think the scratch I made is too deep.

Nope I haven't done it yet. It's been raining here for days. I actually did get the paint, and my buddy's going to touch it up and put the clearcoat over it. I'll let you know how it turns out, but at this rate it won't be done till summer.

That's cheating, you can't let your "buddy" do it for you
