    Just bought a Sport hood for my 16 OR but need to get it painted. Any problems matching the quicksand color?

    I took it to a body shop to get a chip fixed and the guy had no problem color matching. He even gave me a little can with some in it for free so I can fix future chips myself!

    I messaged @Citadel this, I'm pretty sure that the can I was given has the percentages to mix on it. I'll get a picture in the morning and I'll post it here too just in case any one is interested.

    This is what I've got. I have no idea why there are two sets of numbers, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

    A new bolt here, a new bolt there, a new bolt everywhere.
    There is a slight tint of red that changes from quicksand to quicksand (atleast the one I have seen around town) . On my truck it was almost a pinkish hue when the sun hit it. The shop I took my fenders to used 4v6 paint and missed the red hue so in the sun you can see the difference. You can somewhat see it in this old picture of my truck. Looks like shadows but there is a color difference. Fromthe fender to the door. The hue is more noticeable in person. 20160808_115943.jpg
    I spoke with my brother in law who is my normal body man (he didn't paint the fenders), and he said he has a place that he goes to for paints like these (with hues) since the are very hard to match based on paint code alone. He will be repainting my truck once the bead sides go on, until then I'll just live with the off hue color.
