Thanks.

Looks like you've been busy. That color is tough to match.

I'm assuming this car sees salt? How's it holding up?

Certainly been busy. You know the feeling first hand because of your wagon situation.

I went into this not being concerned about matching.

Panels on this car have been repainted already by professional shops and they did not match.

I figured I could get that result myself and not have to pay them for the disappointment.

To be honest things are better than I thought they would have turned out so I cannot complain.

I know I could have wetsanded adjacent panels with 800 and blended color into them and then recleared the entire panel but I am no professional so I have to accept what I can do and be happy with it, which I am.

once both front fenders are repainted everything will look very close again.

yes this car is my year round daily driver. Surprisingly looks pretty damn nice underneath for having that duty here up north. Tranny pan has some rust scale as so do some tranny cooler lines but the body is perfect which really counts.

Treated the aforementioned areas the other day with fluid film while doing an oil change the other day. 171,500 on this car!
