I cant believe I painted my new front Euro licence filler plate frame.

[mystro]

It came out great. My dealer ordered me a new flat black euro filler plate as part of my deal because PA. doesnt require a front plate and the car already had the dreaded front frame drilled on it.
I used 5 coats of Duplicolor "metalic silver" and 6 coats Duplicolor Top coat. I buffed color and top coat with polishing glaze. It looks like a pro job. It has debth and clarity. I cant believe paint in a spray can could come out so well. The paint matches oem 99.9%

It looks a little darker than the rest of the bumper.... but it may just be the pictures....

in case dupli color doesn't make your clor, you can get paint in a spray can that matches your paint code from paintscratch.com. it matches very well, but it's about $25 a can. just an FYI. the dupli color looks pretty darn good.

Its the typical silver shadow/light angle effect in the pic. In sun light it looks dead balls on. I have seen worse color matches from body shops. I was really impressed with how close Duplicolors "metallic silver" matches Audis paint. The total project was under $10. For trim pieces, wheels, or chipped up lower rocker panels, it would be perfect to use. I was very impressed with the amount of gloss and depth I got from the clear coat.

Good for you! I hate front license plates!!

That's a damn good match. Good job

looks good :)

very impressive! Silver is hard to match, that came out very well. The true test is to use a flash at night and see how well it matches. To the human eye, Im sure in person it looks fantastic. Great work!

i've tried the paintscratch route...never again....they weren't even close on my casa white A4. so i sent it back...they sent me another one...still not close...i was fed up at this point and had a friend at a body shop take care of it.

I'm looking for the Duplicolor ID # you used here? I am doing the same thing and Duplicolor makes a few different silvers. Anyone know the answer here?

I just ordered one too because mine has four nice screw holes in it. I plan on doing the same thing, but the shop is going to paint it. Definitely looks clean, well done.
