996 C2- how do you match underfloor paint on used frontend ?

[porschehead]

Hi,

I recently bought front accident damaged 996 c2 1998 . Due to heavy impact, i decided to
buy a secondhand frontend of a 996 boxster. It welded on nicely, but the underneath the car
its two different shades of paint ( the secondhand frontend is lighter,and the initial
shade of the car is darker (i mean the existing underfloor).

Is there anyway i can match the frontend underfloor to the existing colour ?

please help, (i'm stuck)

replies appreciated

cheers guys

Errr, call me traditional, but paint is often used to match the colour of car body panels. What else would you think of using?

When we're talking of welding on a second hand 'front end'.... how much 'front end' are we actually talking?!!

boxster front end - targa rear end.

What's so wrong with that? The 996 is made from leftover Boxster bits after all.

Yep, you're right that new fangled water stuff has no place in a performance car.
