I'm always paranoid about color match when painting all the panels off the car on full respray. You ever have any issues with this? Is there a trick to it? I haven't tried doing a complete car with all the panels off but have been fine with shooting a fender off and doing a blend panel with the door. Work looks great. Here is a link to some of my work http://eurowerks.org/showthread.php?t=22130

**corrado_sean2** · 05-16-2011 08:07 AM

hes actually the one that talked me into painting my corrado in panels. i was new to it then but i did it and it looks awesome. ive done it multiple time after that and its fine as long as you use from the same mix normally. or if you get more paint its mixed the same or the same variant. with most base coat once you have coverage the color doesnt change with more coats. but definitely best to do same number of coats on every panel just in case.

**mahoney** · 05-16-2011 11:03 AM

I was just thinking that it could change depending on how a metallic would lay down. Colors can change depending on gun technique with flop of metallics and such. If you're a robot I don't think it would matter. I worked in a paint department where we painted all new panels off the car and then the body tech would hang them versus jambing the parts, hanging them, then painting the car assembled which is what we did at a different shop. I don't recall any issues doing the panels off at the first shop mentioned but I wasn't the painter there.

**corrado_sean2** · 05-16-2011 01:18 PM

just orient the parts as if they were hanging on the car.

this. thats what people usually do wrong when painting parts off the car. they have to be sitting just like they would on the car. if you have to do them in a separate load or time keep track of humidity, air pressures, temp, etc. try to keep it all as close as possible. should have no issues

**bmxrado** · 06-27-2011 11:15 AM

Finished pic of the R28

**GTi2OV** · 06-29-2011 04:26 PM

Thanks for sharing! I see a whole lot of talent. Great work, don't stop

**CantKillDaWabbit** · 07-27-2011 10:56 PM

awesome work!!

i hope to be doing what you are in the future. I'm full time paint prep at a real nice shop in my area. edging parts and some small jobs. it definitely makes it a whole lot more interesting when painting high end stuff like you are!

**Mean 'n Green86** · 08-15-2011 03:55 PM

Great work I followed the corrado burgundy build awhile ago and loved it. You have talent.

I'm slowly learning body work and shaving. Would you mind sharing your filler brand choices and technique.
