Weird paint question

[Morris]

I want to have my current paint scanned so that I can have a matching color mixed up. It seems like the smallest detachable part I can bring into the store is the boot lid. Can anyone think of another, easy to remove part I can snag?

 

[Trevor Jessie]

Is there something on the slam panel that you can remove? Latch? Bracket?

 

[Trevor Jessie]

If you are wanting it to match the existing paint then it needs to come from the exterior. Boot lid sounds good then.

 

[Trevor Jessie]

Should probably be cleaned and de-oxidized first.

Why do I get the feeling that the slam panel is the valence that I am working on right now?

Ed, I was trying to say that if he was only going to paint a fender or door and wanted it to match the existing paint without painting the whole car.

I didn't explain myself very well.

 

[Morris]

What's the slam panel?

 

[Trevor Jessie]

The panel that the bonnet "slams shut on" that holds the latches.

Yep, thats the one I been working on. Should be the ease down slowly panel.

 

[Morris]

That looks welded in place. How would I go about removing it?

 

[Trevor Jessie]

Not the whole panel, but a bracket or part that is attached to it that is also painted.

 

[Morris]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. Duh.
