    As saome of you saw i just bought a second hand alfa 156 a few days ago, shes in great nick and im very happy with it. However there are a couple of things on the body work i wouldnt mind sorting, im gonna start a post later with pictures but at the mo my ntl bb is acting up and i cant upload so that will do later

    anywho the front wing on the passenger side was tipped a few years ago by the owner, it was repaired and re sprayed, however a poor job was done on the respray and it doesnt match (its a silver car)

    What im wonderin is should i bother getting it respraid, what are the chances of getting a match? anyone any idea of cost? or where i could get it done in dublin or wexford for cheaper than an alfa dealer

    Silver is one of the hardest colours to match sometimes its hard to know if its been the wing that has been painted or the whole side ;)

    not true, the main problem is that people do not spray enough coats which allows primer to shine through and this makes color coat darker
