Quick, Temporary Paint Soloutions?

[MeTarzan]

if my memory serves me right the torch red is just a couple grams of black and yellow pigment different from duponts paint for the torch red so you probably wont see a difference.

So, I did some experimenting with some different paints, and here's what I came up with. as you can see in a couple of posts back, I was using a GM paint called Torch Red. After spending some time comparing that was the very closest I could get to our own Firestorm Red.

What I had done was use two different primers to see which one would darken, or lighten the color of the Torch Red to make it a more acceptable pair with the original on my car. In the pictures, you can see the sideskirt which I had used a white primer on, is a "perfect" match to that of the door. Dhereas the door cap which I had used a brown primer on, is quite a bit darker than the door. (Door being original Firestorm Red)





In person, I can guarantee you that I can see absolutely ZERO difference in the paint, regardless of lighting or shade, it is as close to a perfect match you`ll get without going to the actual Firestorm Red itself.

I hope this helps some people in a bind for a quick fixes if need be.
