Waited about 2 months after spraying the bonnet then wet sanded it and buffed and polished the whole car. Bumper and guards will always be 2 different colors as they are painted in 2 different factories and the bumpers have a different paint I was told.

MADF6 Member 399 Member For: 17y 5m Posted 13/10/13 10:26 AM Share Posted 13/10/13 10:26 AM I suggest those who are talking about panels "fading", should perform a paint correction on any surrounding panels before taking their car to a bodyshop to get the bonnet resprayed. Chances are your top clear coats just marred and oxidised to the clappers. I bought a steel Ford OEM one off egay for $300 and got it resprayed silhouette and fitted for around $550. Brand new from Ford they're worth around 2k unsprayed from memory, while the flat OEM one on our turbos costs around $400. Pretty stupid.
