Paint Question
Hi All-
Not particular to 944, but I have a car paint question. How much does the base primer color affect the final color of a light colored car? I would think on dark cars, this really does not matter, but what about say, red?
Asking because I was in an accident (not the S2) and the repaint of the door and panel look darker to me than the rest of the car. Car is red and I think that they painted the replacement with a black primer when the rest of the car was done with a light color. Would/should I be able to notice a difference?
TIA,
