Some of the paint suppliers have a camera for paint matching and works out quite well.Love that car.. and yeah.. i have had cars with nice paint.. i stress constantly about parking lots and just people in general.. only thing that is going to suck for me is trying to find paint to match the factory stuff to fill in the lower quarters and other repairs
When I painted my Scamp I started to get carried away with getting it straight and a perfect paint job. Couldn't afford to put more into it and like you said if it gets scratched or dented I would have a fit. So did a decent job it looks good even up close just not to the point of crying over a scratch.
