Does anyone know whether Pilgrim would do this sort of thing? what I need is the nose of the car from the highest point of the two front wheel arches.

I will phone Pilgrim tomorrow but will be up all night worrying that they won't want to know. (i.e full body only).

I AM SO PIXXED OFF!

Also can metallic paint be sprayed so that old blends into new? I know the colour.

Regards,

Pete.

Sorry to hear of this

I would of thought that Pilgrim should be able to make you the section you require (I guess it depends on how helpful they want to be) otherwise it would be a whole body and cut out the part you need

Metallic paint can be very hard to match depending on finish etc.It has a lot to do with the pressure the paint was put on with as to how the metallic part of the paint sits as it hits the car as well as the type of paint used, viscosity nozzle size , speed of spray pattern etc.Lots of variables I'm afraid although the best way to find out would be to take it to the people who did the original paint.
