Sent car for some paint

Well sent my car for some paint.
While i would love to get the whole car painted back to rally red im just getting some paint on the hood top of fenders and down one side because it started to fade alittle. it was one third the price.
i'm selling it so it dosn't make sense for me.
i am going to have to adjust my asking price on the forsale thread i have.

It will be interesting to see how well they can match the existing paint. It looks good in that color.

Yeah i know what you mean should be no problem and the price was ridiculous hopefully thats a good thing seems like a good painter the work will tell. blending is never perfect but at least the hood and side of the car will get freshened up it is a driver.

Yes most certainly was buffed out to match and that is why the paint was blended and not painted panel to panel.
