    Funny, the only Festy I ever wanted was an aqua one, and now our Lemons car is aqua! Funny thing about it, the aqua colored duck tape at Walmart is the exact same color as the car!!

    This one is the race car, now I want another aqua one for a dd!!

        so has anyone had any luck with color matching? I'd like to get my new spoiler color matched to my aqua '91 but I have my doubts about anyone being able to accurately match it and keep it affordable..

          When I was working on my aqua B6T car I wanted to paint the front and rear bumpers,the grille and the spoiler to match. I went to a local body shop supply house, gave them the year, make, model and paint code (SE) then less than half an hour later I had a couple of spray cans filled with aqua goodness. The match is very, very close and you'd have to look pretty hard to tell the difference.

          Here's what I started with....



          Here's what I ended up with....



          The stock paint is a single coat but in order to get the best match I had to go with base coat/clear coat.

              nice! thats the best breakdown i've seen.
              Rustoleum Sunrise Red is almost a perfect match to the 88/89 factory red.
