Re: Paint on fender wells and firewall
If you cut the gloss w/ flatting agent and then cut and buff you are defeating the flattening agent... I tried it, besides on inner fenders etc you can't cut and buff all of it.
I bought Quarts of Blue, Red, and Yellow tint and add them to std black (I buy by the gallon) in order to achieve the subtle differences I have found when taking the cars apart. I went through the trouble of having 10 or so different "black" parts scanned some which were not visibly different and they all came back with different mixes... it's easier and way less expensive to tint your own. BTW Caterpillar offers a VERY nice black that is great for replicating "flo-cote" primer.
