........Actually the all blue photo looks much better than than the one with the white front clip.

Lol, that was the plan along with blackening the grey grill work. The current two-tone blue is way better than the former white/blue. :)

Match to the CAR, not what you have in the can, there are too many variable that determine the final outcome of the color.

What everyone is telling you about blending is spot on(no pun intended), there are too many variables that come into play when spraying that will affect final color, so mix a blendable match as close as you can get to the color that on your car, NOT in a can that you already have, and blend your basecoat into the adjacent panels and then clear the entire blend panels.

Got it! Thanks so much.
A little more to do before it's street legal again. At least it won't be hideous to drive down to the paint guy with its current look. :steering:
