Re: Paint Matching

I had a complete body restoration done, and Steve told me the same thing. He took a large paint chip from the old, and sent it to PPG. The match was correct. Although the lady that had it before me changed the color through her own choice or through a mistake by the privious body shop, (she got into a fender bender and had the entire car painted) it's a great match. My question is; my engine compartment is a diffrent color from the rest of the car. There must be a primer color that they paint, (say 500 cars), then the outer color using the same color respectively.
I'll accept the results, although the orginal color should have been Bordeaux pearl.
