I'll have to talk to the manager of the shop and see if they're willing to work with it and do some tests to get it right as there's not really a guide as to how much red to put in the clear.

They knew they had messed up. Usually when you pick up a car from a repair shop they'll walk around the car and tell you what they did. I literally went to the counter and the lady told me my car was outside and the keys were in there. They were definitely not proud of their work.

 

I had heard that the NFR's tint was a blue color, but I have nothing to back that up with. 49762 appears to be the red base, and 60033 the tint, but I can find zero info on what actual color 60033 is.

 

I always thought it was just some red paint mixed in the clear but I could be misinformed.
Blue paint wouldn't explain people's buffing pads turning red when detailing.

 

Older paint and even newer paint is very hard to get 100% correct, older paint being much harder. I have one in Silverstone, there are 8 variations of the color so try to match that even with the VIN! I have had at least four attempts with varying success, blending is the best way to make it look original but can still be picked out by a trained eye. They can correct it but it needs some effort. Multi stage and tri coat are sooooo much more difficult. Good luck.

 

From the looks of all these posts, since I need to get my NFR hood and trunk repainted, would it be less of a headache to just get the entire car done?

 

My understanding is that there are parts of the car (such as the mirrors) that don't have any clear coat - take some polish to a body panel then take some polish to a mirror and you should see some difference on the polishing rag. Of course, that then doesn't explain why the mirrors match the rest of the body...

 

You could always paint those pieces Berlina Black.
But yeah, unless you talk to the shop before hand and they know about the tint coat, your trunk and hood won't match.

 

you can always buy those parts used in good condition.

 

I asked how much to repaint the whole car and they told me 5 to 6k

 

Repainting the whole car is not the solution... If they can't get a bumper right, how will they remove the engine, glass, trim, convertible top, etc. and paint it properly, jambs and all?

In my opinion, blending isn't the answer either.

Alright I'll say it -- I think this whole fascination with paint "fading" over the years is overblown on modern cars. Followed by how hard it is to get the same paint to appear the same way on metal vs plastic. Yes, I'm sure they're both true, to a certain extent, but they are both also excuses. If you're a good paintman, perhaps you need to do more than punch in the factory paint code and let the machine mix, and then dish out excuses when the match isn't perfect. Painting used to be an art. Now it's button [bean] pushing, with very few fine exceptions.
