Message	The shops said "no guarantee" it would match unless I blended the fenders / hood as well - which would have been even more time / money. I just wasn't ready to drop $600+ on a bumper respray (and still take the chance that even with a blend it looks off compared to the rest of the car). I used to work in a body shop in High School, it was fun messing around with spraying again. 93 2+2 Twin Turbo Track Build - jsworks.org for more info!
