If you are going to use a metallic you better have enough on hand with leftover. You don't won't to buy another can and hope it matches, ask me how I know.
I used a venice blue metallic on my 914, and didn't do every panel with the same can. What a pain but it eventually worked out. The amount of metallic flakes in each can made is what counts. I'm sure you will love the color once done. |
