I am not trying to match the existing repaint - the PPG used is too brown. I am trying to match the real original FK5 color. He plans on repainting the entire car some time down the road and wants the engine compartment to be correct so that when he does repaint the whole thing, he does not need to worry about that part.






If the car's going to be repainted down the road, regardless of how dead a match you may achieve, with what ever brand you choose, BUY ALL THE PAINT NEEDED FOR THE PROJECT NOW, not some now, a little later, ALL OF IT, so there are no issues down the road,...there's no "magical" brand of paint that is dispensed that has the "perfect match" built into it's formula, all paints can be tinted/tweaked to obtain a match, even the same batch of paint sprayed days or weeks later can be altered by spray technique, coverage, humidity, etc, etc, etc,....even when you find a formula/paint mfg that you find desirable, there's no gaurantee that the mixer won't FUBAR the mix/color now, or later on down the road...
