bumper paint!

the car i purchased had been towed and the front bumper had rubbed against the wrecker flexing the fender therefore cracking the paint and making it look hideous...so heres the question would it be allright to shoot just the bumper with a copper colored paint that matches the paint currently on the car or will it look like two different colors? thank you!

Take the car to a paint store and have them use the paint camera on it then mix you up a batch.

Not a good idea at all since even then the color might not match right. Belive me, I know, happened to me. I gave them the gas cap and the color they gave me was much pinker than the stock gm bright red. Buy the original GM color and then blend it. Its the only way to have a seamless job. Thats if you want top do it right the first time.
