ang alam ko mahirap i spot paint ang color silver na car...bumabakat kasi eh..
payo ko kapag lumaki na lang ang gasgas tsaka pa repaint, kapag chip off paint lang, try mo yung touch up paint na binebenta sa concorde...

touch up paint lang yan...

ang spot paint, halata talaga kahit anong gawin... sa malayo medyo ok... pero kapag tinitigan mo na, ayun... labas na labas! lalo na kapag medyo off ang color... like mica...

silver pa naman color ng oto ko, match kaya yung silver na nabibili sa concorde sa X-trail?

guys, honestly - kung halata yung spot repair on the bumper, regardless of the color, hindi marunong yung pintor. there's no reason for a bumper repair, especially on a corner, not to come out good.

kapag bumabakat, the surface has not been properly prepped - the damage has not been properly sanded out or the painter did not finish the prep job with a light enough grit of paper.

color mixing and matching is very simple if you have a formula book - available to any professional paint mixer or body shop. the books tell you the right amount of pigment and the appropriate metal flake or mica to use. they also tell you what to add to adjust the color correctly - konting tiyaga lang talaga as you add a drop here and a drop there to match it.

finally, your painter needs to know proper blending techniques with clearcoat and taking advantage of body lines to make it look perfect.

in my previous career i've spot painted hundreds of bumpers - many silver. never had a complaint that i couldn't fix.
