Hi guys
Does anyone know of a paint place who do online sales of colour coded pressure packs? I've just done some work on my 99 AU and am having epic issues getting the right colour from my local paint place.. 2weeks ago I bought a can of w6 coded paint and it was perfect....so I thought stuff it, I'll fix that ding in the rear bumper.... only this time the paint doesnt match?? I went back to the guys and explained the issue and he did me a new one, saying he thinks he mixed the 2000 model paint instead of the 99... I saw the new paint and was pretty sure it was still too dark...,, his response was it was "heaps lighter...." Any way, when I got home I gave it a test and sure enough it was the same paint as the first time.. Im not going to bother going back there.. So if anyone knows of a place who can actually give me the right coloured paint online that would be awesome... If not Id be appeciative of anyone who can sort me out.. The paint code is W6 W6 Amaretto (light gold) Im getting a darker shade cheers boys  |

The issue will likely be that 1999 paint looks different to 2011 paint.
Any paint that's been out in the weather for the wrong side of a decade is going to change colour slightly. Something as odd as amaretto will certainly do that. My pick: seeing as you can't get the right colour, respray the car in a good colour (which is basically anything but amaretto).

yep, sounds like the can isn't of a darker shade but the car is a little faded.
What area did you spray last time that was perfect? An area less likely to fade as much perhaps?

I did a grille and front bar.
Its differnt. 2 weeks I bought one of w6 and its spot on... this week its alot darker.. I know that because I still have some of the old can, chalk and cheese when you compair them. Im pretty sure he gave me the 2000 model W6 (Amaretto) instead of the 98 W6 (Amaretto) |
