Yes they are doing it for free. Still having mismatched panels IS one of my worries. Does anyone know if a repaint can attain a consistent color even if they are painting over mismatched panels?

Guitarman or exvelocity or anybody... Can you tell me if it will still be possible to get a nice consistent color even in this situation where they are painting over mismatched panels? I wouldn't want to repaint if there's still a risk of mismatch after all of this.

ajaxahi,

I've merged a half dozen threads in a couple of forums you created on the same topic. Please help us (and the other members helping you) by keeping this topic and any updates in this thread.

Thanks Dave!

Ajax, like I told you in PMs, contact Jay to see if he has time to look at it or come to me. Its more useful than taking pictures and posting them repeatedly. Having a reputable detailer look at it is your best bet

I apologize to the members and moderators I may have annoyed with my multiple posts. Was just a little overzealous in trying to get answers to my little predicament. It won't happen again (at least from me!), and thanks again to those who pitched in their two cents.

By the way, I had a detailer look at the car in person and I'm doing the repaint. The only question I really haven't had answered yet is if they paint over the mismatched panels, will the repaint be able to hide the mismatch that is currently there? This may be a question for the detailing forum, but I've learned my lesson - we'll keep it here . Thanks.
