Hello

You will all probably know that I have had some paint repairs on my car!

I have been told by two paintshop managers that it is impossible to colour match this exactly, as there is some technical term for it.

Most noticeable under sodium lights? (street lights)

Has anybody else had any repairs on there RED car and can they see any difference under street lights?

I don't know as i'm not an expert but it depends how they did the repair - whether they blended it or sprayed an entire pannel. I'm not sure how noticable it would be on a solid colour but you normally have to do the entire pannel for metallics.
