With the correct white German paint in a Pressure Pac I painted the Rear bumper and valances. All look good.. except the miss match with the original Paint on the rear of the Boot Lid and side panels, they stood out like Dogs B....s. So I bit the bullet and painted all that was visible from behind
. Not a professional finish I admit, but from a short distance it looks uniform.
Now I understand why Panel Shops quote to Paint undamaged panels to get the right colour match !!,....:) For a ten year old Car does it matter ?
