I have a pewter 99 Camaro and just got my new SS hood painted and it is darker than the rest of the car and they told me to wait abot 3 or 4 weeks and wax it and it will bring the pigment out of it and it will match the rest of my car. Is this true or is he just blowin smoke up my ***?

 

What is darker than the rest of the car?

 

Oops I ment I got my SS hood painted

 

They got the paint code and ordered the paint from GM but thats all they did.

 

They should of sprayed some test panels first, then they could of tinted the paint to make it match perfectly. Too bad. Some colors are harder to match than others.

 

Yeah, if they didnt color match, depending how old your car is, there might be some fade in your original car color, so it will be off a little bit if they just used the original paint from GM

 

Yeah that must be it. The hood looks real good it just dosent match. It dosent matter though I like how good the paint on the hood came out im gonna repaint the whole car for another $1200.00
Thanks for everyones help
