| hi folks,i just bought a 73 standard bug and the doors,trunklid n all is pretty crusty so I want to replace them.anyways im keeping whatever OG paint is on it as I don't plan on repainting the car.now can I possibly get good used doors and hood and strip em to bare metal and have em painted then scuffed up to match the car or should I want and find parts in same color?thanks |

Matching worn, faded paint is damn near impossible. Finding a car with the same original color that is also weathered in a similar way is also very, very difficult.
Just how crusty are your original panels? Maybe patch the rust holes and try to match the paint on just those sections. It'll still be difficult to get just right, but at least the part that's off will be smaller and easier to work. |
