I tried to do my Anni valance but couldn't for the life of me get a good finish. In fact the best finish I got was a lot like your attempt.

I ended up getting my sprayed by my local spray shop, very good match, couldn't tell the difference. I have had A LOT of work done by them. Cost me £70 for them to spray it.

I've done the rear valance and it looks like it's a much better colour match. Won't know for sure until I fit it properly which I can't do until I get some right angled torx bits from my mate at work. May try and find a tool that will do the job in a minute tho.

Rear Votex Valance now fitted and looks a much better colour match  :grin: :grin:







What you guys think about the colour match? It's still very slightly darker but it's good enough for me to leave on the car. I'll be re-attempting the front one again next week now I've got this one sorted.
