Remember when we used to mix paint by eye instead of using a spectrophotometer?
My first shop in Denver back in 2003 had this old timer who could match a faded Honda pearl white just by eyeballing it and adding a few drops of toner. Last month I watched a kid scan a fender with a $10,000 device and the color was dead perfect first try. I miss the craft but I sure don't miss repainting a whole quarter panel because I was off by half a shade. Anybody else feel like the old way taught you more even if it was slower?

Did I ever tell you about the time I matched a Honda to a Toyota by mistake?

Did you swap the engine or just the paint?
