I like my factory mustard yellow, I had redone the interior and am prepping the post-wreck (5 years ago) parts for paint and took in my old can of concept PPG ($$$) urethane to match and had them mix up two quarts and one quart of the cheap urethane for under the fenders/hood etc. They stated they had a new formula but it should be fine. It was darker than the old can which was almost a match, just a tad darker. I took it in to have them lighten it up and said that if they can't get it I will deal with the existing too dark color.. I picked it up and it is somewhat of a muddy, more green- value wise a bit lighter but not as yellow and definitely not as much depth, if you will, as either the original or the old can that I took in. I think I now have 3 quarts vs. 2 but don't know if I should just deal with, tell them I want it right and tick off the paint store guys... and they might not be able to match it right on the second try.. Or maybe take it to the same brand store in the next town and see if they can straighten it out.. Even if it might cost me. The two quarts was about 250 (400 per gallon) bucks.. The cheap stuff is about $60 bucks a quart.
What do you think? What would you do?
