I was searching ebay for a fender and came across a company that says they will paint a fender for you matched to your paint code. here is the page- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2486030294.

I was just wondering if anyone dealt with them and if a true color match could really be accomplished? What about the varibles?My car is a 97 and i'm sure the paint has faded a little by now, also i've heard that the shade will change slightly in relation to how far you hold the gun from the material being painted(i.e closer, darker and farther, lighter)I don't want to spend 200$ plus and have to get it blended.what do you guys think? Also did the link work? Thanks in advance.

Real good poss you will need to blend. Very hard to match without blending even if you mix and match in the paint room. I would pay a local shop to paint anyway, your better off.

Good luck

Thats what i figured,I used to work in a garage that had a body shop and i've seen a bunch of painted fenders and have never seen one that has'nt needed to be blended.

yeah same here.....I have had panels painted before without blending and you can tell in the right light. The shop i used was real good at getting it soo close but under a halogen froma gas station you could see the difference. That is with having the car at their shop to compare with, i cant imagine painting a panel and not seeing the car.

Good luck
