Paint finish.

Blue Flash · 18th October 2008, 08:52

Would there be a big difference in finish and match on a 2002 trophy blue bumper v the finish and match on a 2003 Zt body,I suppose the only alternative is to take the car and side by side them,would appreciate any comments that might avoid a long and fruitless journey.

Thanks Paul.

Don't think there would be any difference if the paint code was the same?

Wilshot will be at thryburg next Sat at the yorks meet, why not come along have a look at his trophy blue

as said as its the same paint code, even on first impressions it might look different but depends on if its dusty or dirty. Why not get another painted freshly? getting mine starlight silver one done having done all the prep work myself for £100 cash, £150 if it was done through the books.

Its some thing thats annoyed me since day 6 of owning (one of our uninsured fnends...ya know the type... guy who owned the car is sat in the passenger seat and only the named driver on the policy,t*** driving has no licence,no insurance,no L plates,mind you soon involved the Law as they were not going any where as I had the keys..caused chaos with the resulting traffic jam)never been happy with the insurance re-spray having spent a small fortune on the car then only a factory painted job will suffice finnicky I know but there you are.
