try get hold of a "buff" ie>>a polisher that they use in bodyhshops and get ur surrounding panels or the whole car polished up with this..

u could also use G3 to blend the colours in....its kinda like a harder t-cut...

but i thinki'm right in saying that u will never have a perfect match.

flame red by any cahnce?

i got a yreg corsa c. got my wings and bonnet painted along with bodykit.

at certain anlges u can see slight differences. its due to it being red an shit.

at night ur pannel wil not match at all. IE: it will look a diff colour all together under streeet lights an that.

hope this kind helps.

ps:might also be due to fact that ur car may have faded slightly ..so a perfect match will be hard.
