So while I was taking the doorhandle off the Arizona car it struck me just how pretty the Laguna blue paint was from the factory, and also that it is more muted than modern paint formulations.
That has me wondering if I’ll get a more original looking paint if I bring the door and get that paint matched from the inside factory paint versus going off a paint code. Will clot matching the inner door result in a more original pastel/muted/not overly shiny paint? I talked to a paint guy and he said the moderns cleats are all so shiny it is hard to keep the finished job from being so modern looking. Thoughts? Ideas? |

Thanks for all of the responses.
Personally I just really like the original muted color... |
