So somehow I got a couple of nice chips in the passenger side of my ST. I was told by my dealers parts department that my paint color was Lucid Red so I bought a bottle of the touch up paint yesterday.
I went for it today and after two coats of base (with 30 minutes dry in between) and 1 clear, the colors don’t match at all and I’m wishing I would have left the silver holes alone. The touch up paint is way lighter.
Has anyone else had this problem? I hope I just was given the wrong paint type but the parts guy looked it up based on my VIN.
Anyways this is pretty frustrating to have two light colored spots on the side now. If I indeed have the correct touch up paint I am open for suggestions and tips. Thanks!
