Several years ago I had my 1968 MGCGT painted the pale primrose yellow that
was on the original car. Apparently a similar compound to the old paint was
used--no clearcoat, etc, and a tendency to fade.
A few weeks ago, I had to re-do the driver's door because of a major scratch.
The door panel now sticks out like a sore thumb! The body shop said that it
would be impossible to match the fade and consistency of the color and that
the whole car would have to be redone.
Does anyone have experience trying to match original style faded paint? I'd
hate to spend big bucks.
Thanks, STEVE
