Impressive !


I once painted an old Beetle I was trying to salvage -  imagine my  
surprise when I got the car out of my garage to discover one side was  
lighter than the other ...
I had got the original paint from VW but the 2 cans had different  
colours ...
A true even though stupid story

I always admires pros for mixing the cans beforehand ;-)
