hi,
i have this 84 camaro and it has been repainted by the last owner, but the hood is rusted and i want to replace it with a fiberglass hood(cowl induction-type).

problem is that i think the paint has become lighter over the years,because i can see differences with the paint outside and paint that didnt see much sunlight, like the underside of the doors.
So my question is: can a paintshop match the paint on the new hood with paint that has changed a little? or do they have to repaint the whole car?


thanx
