Default New SOM paint and New wheels Inside

This is the aftermath of my car avoiding some deer in the road and sliding through my neighbors barb wire fence....best thing that ever happened to the car as it needed a new paint job. I had it repainted at my grandfather's body shop in Carrollton, TX (Carrollton Paint & Body) Looks better than it did when it was new!!!

Is it exactly the same paint as before or did you tweak the shade a little ?

It looks amazing by the way.

yeah there is about 13 different variations from the primary mix with PPG some lighter, darker..etc. We just mixed the Primary mix and shot it. The car had been painted before i got it. The color now matches with what is in the door jams and underhood which it did not before. Thanks for all the compliments I absolutely love the car now.....mad props to my grandfather and his guys at the shop!!!! Oh and this is the factory SOM paint code we shot on the car.
