[QUOTE="65x2, post: 8374697, member: 67019"] X2, punched in for Dupont and brought up a BC/CC. As far as blending, you want to blend. Its the only way to ensure a true color match. Panel painting is a no win situation unless its the same batch of paint. Color can be changed with air pressure as well as distance and with metallics if they don't sit the same, it will also reflect different and look like a different color. DSG is CX I believe, again a BC/CC formula. If you're really picky about the colors, ask to see a spray out before any color is applied to the car. That way you can see if its "too red" or not. I'd take the spray out to the jambs of the car as well to make sure it matches. The two tone you don't want is.. is outside and jambs. Also... DO NOT take the car away until you are satisfied. Couple things I'd look for: Runs in the Cobra on the rear bumper, inside the tag area, on the bottom portion of each panel especially the rear bumper where that groove is. Dry spray on the front bumper inside the foglight holes as well as the air dam portion. Look inside all jambs to make sure you're pleased with the paint lines that will be there due to it not being jambed out. Fender jambs, door jambs, trunk jambs etc. Check all your window rubbers to make sure there is no paint on the rubber as well as any hardlines where the tape was on the panel and not the rubber. I'd remove the fender emblems and SVT & Ford emblems on the decklid as well. You can get away with not removing the Ford emblem.. but I wouldn't leave it anyway. Also, check for runs on your spoiler and if you're leaving the mirrors installed, check for dry spray under the mirrors and around the door handles. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
