Re: WARNING AGAINST PAINTING PARTS well if u have 80% of the car with the crappy factory paint job..then 20% with a real paint job it won't go together at all and look really bad.

Re: WARNING AGAINST PAINTING PARTS That's why a body shop is more than you think.
They have to fade the new paint on one half on a panel in with the other half, make the color match and if the exsisting paint is old, make the new paint look dull and blend that in while actually forcing themselves to spray more clearcoat than needed to make the clearcoat look as crappy as it does from the factory but not to point where you can notice.
It's tough.
