I feel like I'm asking stupid questions here, but I am in need of advice for making spot paint repairs on the 914.. If I could afford to have the whole car painted, I would, but this is where I'm at, to stop and fix rust bubbles and major paint cracks.

This is what I'm dealing with:

My plan was to go down to aplace in San Diego that can make color matched paint (I have not idea what this yellow is) and have 3 or 4 aerosol cans of yellow made up, and attempt to feather and blend these areas in...

Anyone have advice or things I should be careful of before I go about attempting this?

Thanks, Ethan

That looks great! Congratulations! I know you must be stoked to get her back! What color blue is that? It almost looks like the Audi blue on the S4s.

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. It's the closest blue I could find to adriatic blue out of the code book... Every code I found in dupont for adriatic blue came up as nothing...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That thing is just RIGHT. Even the euro lenses look extra good. The paint sets the orange off. Good thing you didn't sell it!!!!!
