I needed a respray on a uncommon OEM color "Olive Green Metallic on a 1995 Volvo 855 T5-R as a couple junkyard fenders with the correct OEM paint still intact ended up not matching the whole side of the car. Turns out the paint had not been matched very well on a very minor ding some years earlier and the shop sprayed most of the drivers side to blend it. I didn't notice until I put an OEM fender on- and in fact it looked fine until that moment. So I had the dented and sprayed previously fender repaired and resprayed again by gearhead racer and Volvo enthusiast Dennis of Strait-Line here in PDX who did a great job.
But it is all new and shiny. I searched the interwebs for making new paint look old all sorts of different ways but none of the computers believe me and all I get are results about making old paint new or distressing the crap out of new paint for other reasons.
Is anyone familiar with slightly effecting new clear-coat so it will be knocked back just a little? I was thinking wee test patches of bon ami and/or the finest rubbing compound know to man.
