Since the color difference is very subtle I skipped painting on the door jam, and inner trunk. The result is still good. You wouldn't notice the diff unless you're told. It's slightly red-ish compare to the Bordeaux.

I like this color a lot. I gotta thank this T-bird owner. I got a hint from his/her car when I was jogging!

Claret, Bordeaux, Merlot... all red wines. I think that'll be ok.

If I were to re-paint, I might use some Porsche colors... Midnight blue non-metallic on the roof and trunk top, and either Cobalt or Aqua blue, (maybe VW's new medium blue) on the main body... maybe Subaru WRB pearl... something bright blue, with a bit of a cold silver undertone, and some titanium silver/white details.

I can only hope it would be as glossy and slick as your paint job, there, Ryu...
