Hi, i bought a car with a dent in the back. I am now fixing it. I have beaton it back in to its inital state roughly and am going to fill/fibreglass small cracks etc. I am fine up to this point, and need a bit of help getting the right colour match, I have the right colour paint 100% for my car, however i have sprayed up a few bits already with it and still does not seem to match. Could some one please help me with the method of spraying so it matches the rest of the car and dosent stand out like a sore thumb. Thanks.

I dunno then mate, take it to a body shop or vw, silver can be hard to match :crynot as bad as red tho

Agreed, silver's a twat. Even hardened sprayers pull the 'ohhh do I really have to' face

If you must though, find a paint supplier, take a bit of your car in (wing mirror etc), get them to scan it and do you a couple of custom cans.

Put the cans in a bucket of warm water before you spray, and take it easy, just dust it over and over again.
