Spa is a 3-step process
That makes it a challenge on a whole new level
If the pearlescent step is not perfect the color travels from too light to too dark

Thanks for your concern, everyone. Believe me, the color matching has me very concerned, but it's not the first time the car has been touched up and the other results were quite good. I had already planned on taking the S to a body shop to have other rust spots touched up, including a small hole on edge of the passenger rear fender lip. The body shop called it a "typical Honda" rust spot, but after 10 years of year 'round driving, with that the only rust, I'm not complaining.

I don't know how anyone could miss a Spa Yellow Honda, especially on an overcast, drizzly day. I mean that car stands out under conditions like that (I had just waxed it a week or so ago). The "perp" (always wanted to use that term ) was in a large Ford pickup, though, and the S was in a parking lot at the mechanics, so the driver probably couldn't see something so small. Anyway, the damage is confined to a very small area next to the driver's side headlight just above the front plastic. As I said before, at least the fellow was honest enough to track me down IMMEDIATELY and had already made all of the arrangements with the body shop for me (It's out of his pocket, not his insurance company).

Nasty yellow plates, I can't wait until my white one arrives! That is the final detail for the car's mini make over Do my wheels count as a mod?
