Red face It's the same!!

The color is almot perfecly identical to the paint. It was a perfect match to the original underhood color. The original was just faded. However, the outside wil be getting a fresh paint job this november.

Did you use regular clearcoat, or some sort of high temperature stuff? This info might be worth knowing in the future for me!
