There is a small area on the lower 1/4 on my survivor Demon that needs to be painted. I've taken it to 3 shops and one wants to use Chroma Base and one wants to use base coat/clear. The color is Y8. Would using a 2 stage give the affected area too much shine/gloss and not match the patina of the 47 year old paint? The paint on the car is in beautiful condition otherwise.
Boy, this question sure hits home. I dealing with pretty much the same issue on my survivor 1969 Dart that is B7 blue. The drivers 1/4 panel was replaced when the car was 3 months old due to an accident. It was painted with lacquer and that paint is now shot. I was counting on a local shop that was run by some old timers to repaint the 1/4, but I just found out that they have closed up and are retiring.
