I've been wondering lately about touching up my laser blue paint. Every picture I have seen that has been touched up appears much darker than the original paint:



My question is, has anyone ever tried to apply Arrival Blue mettalic touch up to a Laser Blue car? Considering that arrival is lighter, I thought that it might look more transparent. What are your thoughts?

 

They mixed up the wrong color or your putting it on to much and not spreading it.

 

again its not going to be perfect

 

Are you sure your car is lazer blue? In the picture, it appears that your car is arrival blue and the touch up paint your applying is lazer blue..

 

The picture is jsut from the "how to repair key marks" thread, and I am assuming that the paint was matched. That is exactly my question, I am curious to hear thoughts on if arrival would be a better touch up match....anyone?

 

Agreed! laser blue is a 8 component paint it has to be sprayed on very thin

 

just get a brand new cobalt and save your self some time painting that thang
