i have a 74 comet and had a rust spot i buffed out. i want to paint it but the color wont match. is it worth the effort to try and match it myself or have someone match/paint it for me?
How did you buff out a rust spot???? How would you go about tinting the paint yourself for a color match? Do you have a mixing machine with all the tints on it at your disposal? The best thing you can do is go to a good jobber store and talk to them. They should be able to scan the color and then tint it to a blend-able match for you. We do it all the time for customers.
it was just some surface rust, took some paint with it and i dont want it to come back. i didnt really think of the color match thanks
Unless you removed all the rust...Paint wont help for long. If you did get all the rust off and are familliar with doing spot panel repairs...Listen to car nut...If not find a good shop to repair it for you.
