mate, u have to wait a while for the laquer to harded before you do any more sparying, then try maybe rubbing the paint work down ligthly and respray it with a new paint can, i had the same problem on my body work, it came out a gray white in stead of white, i used a new can and it was fine. when i colour code my bumpers and arch they where sigthly brigth, but they do fade and i pollished my car a few time and it look ok now.

try doing what Greasemonkey said to do, t cut will dull the paint work because it will take the top layer off.

hope that helped
mike

:mad::(

there isnt much you can do, was probably just a crap paint mix.

so what i should add more paint? i did 3 coats

so dose that mean i have 2 take off the lacquer?

Try adding more coats of the paint colour, this will darken it,

ok m8

thanks

any 1 else got any ideas

try t-cutting the area where its going to bring the original paint work back to its original colour see what happens

m8 i used a white primer,

my car is 1999 s plate so 4 years old, its brocade yellow met

i dont think so as the paint is from vauxhall and i used it other parts of the car and its fine,

sometimes new paint does look a bit brighter next to old.how old and what colour is your car?

what coclour is the car? some paints fade over time, red is the worst for this

what spray paint did you use? did you match the colour using the vin plate code?

maybe wrong paint colour? just a guess, but sometimes there are a few shades of the same named colour. Not sure though, just guessing :P

Last week I ask how to do colour coded arches, so I did it how people told me 2, thanks, I thought I did a good job in getting rid or the dimple effect and could not c it any where. I primed 4 or 5 time then put 3 coats of paint on them once that dried I lacquered them up and I though I did a good job looks great. But once I put them next to the car the was a bit brighter then the car colour! Any ideas plz?
