I have to confess that because I spend much of my time at work mixing colours I have become very fussy. Probably a bit too fussy!
I recently had to repaint a Lambretta frame after repair - it had been painted in the late 70's - 80s at Alexanders, the Bus Builders, clearly a nightshift job, as it was painted in Cream and red !
The paint match i had done for the cream wasnt great, i suspect as it was originally cellulose and this was now Aerosol 2k or waterbase - lucky it was underneath i was painting that was not really seen, but had it been panelwork i would have had to review.
Its one of those things, its never going to be the same regardless and its only new once
