can you blend an already exisiting paint job with a water based paint and look the same?

talked to my long time wholesale paint supply dealer and says water based paint replacements prolly only in california. he certainly has his interests to protect so we will see what happens.  ;)

buffed the car today. found a dig in the door. well not a ding but a low spot,  :'(  you could not see it before, but after it was buffed you could. filled it, sanded and blocked the door.  got it ready to repaint. it took 9 hours to fix it.  paint and clear it tomorrow morning.  that sucks bad  >:(  right when you think your done.  1 step forward and 3 back.  i got pics of it. i'll post them later for before and after pics.

looking good so did you cut everything in then line up and spray the body as a whole or did you just fan in the jambs to the best you could and left everything in place?

the jambs were painted first , then masked off. so when the clear was wet sanded on both jambs and car you cant tell it . no lines.

SGF11S - PYPES Street-Pro Exhaust Systems    http://www.jegs.com/i/PYPES/958/SGF11S/10002/-1

for an extra 50 I got the quarter out pipes and 70 for the tips.  I need to put the hangers on it yet. and will be welding the pipe, instead of the u-bolts. going to get the s/s wire tomorrow.
