one of my friends gave me his omega to sell when he went for America (for 3 years) working in imf..
 
anyway car was badly painted before stone chips as large as my finger tips   (primary coat not sanded properly as you can guess) and some scratches here and there.. and a dead battery..
 
last week changed the battery.. saturday covered the hood front with some black plastic film.. and later nearly spent an hour for the shop to prepare some paint code 20H..  and they corrected the mixture color tone several times
 
saturday started sanding + polishing the car.. finished the hood and left front wing..
 
sunday masked the car .. and also masked around the scratch area mm by mms exactly the scratch shape..
 
first I sprayed 3 layers of color coat(wrong!) .. later I sprayed 2 thick layers of scratch resistent laquer (wrong!)
 
later I used hair dryer to quickly finish the job.. after I sanded+polished 2 doors (other side) and later clear all masks..
 
this morning I sanded the laquer as much as possible but this damn laquer is so resistent if I insisted more I could remove the original laquer completely   and the color tone is definitely bad match
 
my wife commented : failure!
 
honestly not that bad    but next time I will spray standard laquer alone without paint..  pictures will follow tonight

If it's easier you could simply repaint the rest of the car

even I could do a better color match but I didnt have the necessary colors at home

I come to a conclusion that Cem likes to sand  Sanding is very tiring on the hands even with a machine

  if you consider the color trials and cars I painted,sanded+polished in the last weeks, its nearly a daily habit

and unfortunately sanding machines make me tired more than doing by hand... and they do not work on sharp corners, curved irregular faces

I had to paint it if I didnt cover up

[cem_devecioglu]

seems like color is a better match after dry up
