I assume you intended to say Match not "math"

this would be a great question for you local paint shop... not zilvia members

anything is possible if your willing to pay

Its possible but it will never be perfect. Pearl white is one of the hardest colors to ever match especially after the car has been in the sun for so many years

it would be easier to just respray the whole car.

Some places are better at paint matching than others.... I would start with the Hood first and determine how off it will be! Hood alone should be no more than 400 worked and painted!

You will need to have the whole car resprayed.

Too funny.

Do some homework on body work and paint. The quotes you got aren't bad at all (if it's to respray the entire car minus jambs).

Nothing really left to discuss. The only way for that to be fixed is by painting. It'll never match 100%. If you're extremely picky, have the entire car done at once. Problem with the roof is that it's connected to the quarter panels. The only way to fix that is by blending the quarter panels and re-clearing the entire thing. That's probably why your quotes came out so high.

Good luck.
