Hey guys,

As you all probably know, i have a cameleon coloured WRX.

Have had some guy reverse into me a while back, just wondering if anyone knows a good panel beater/sprayer who will deal with my type of paint job...

I have gone to many places and each time i have been told "NO" before i even start talking to them on what i want.

Best bet would be to find the guy that painted it originally, and hope to God that he formulated the colour.

The problem with chameleon paint jobs is what colour do you match it against, at what angle and what time of the day

Be interesting to see what they charge you for it, perhaps try Beyond Custom 'the same mob that Tino uses from memory'.

I'm pretty sure chameleon paint comes formulated from the manufacturer. As long as you get the same paint it was originally done in it shouldn't be a drama. The matching should only involve spraying the right amount of cotes!

I already have gone back to the guy who did it and he said no, but the bad news is he was dodgy as all hell and didnt even sand it back so its on top of the original colour which is blue.

so yeah i think new colour it is... gun metal grey i think...

High pressure water jet & just blow it off back to the original blue.
