BlackGTS
Enthusiast
Hello All!
I own a 1999 GTS that in black. I am trying to get my front fascia painted as a have picked up a few chips along the way. It was minor marks and I am starting to think I was just being a tad too picky to have this done. Well needless to say the shop is having a hard time matching the factory paint and I was hoping for some help here. I know the paint code is MX3. The shop uses Standox and Spies Hecker products normally. After these too attempts failed to match, part looks fantastic but it is a very solid deep black as my car has a small tint of brown in it. The last attempt was to try PPG 9874 and again it is still off a bit. Has anyone had any experience with this color? I know the car has never had any paint work done. What gives here?
Can anyone provide me some info to pass along to this place so I can get my car done?
The ppg paint was just sprayed on a test panel to try to match in the sunlight, the bumper was not respayed again.
Anyone? Thanks in advance!
