2pack vs cellulose appearance

[webhead]

Hi there,

I've been acquiring my spray paint setup recently (4HP 200L compressor, a semi decent gun, water trap etc).

At the moment I'm doing furniture and cabinets for my living room, shooting acrylic paint. It got me some experience. (I'm using a 1.8mm nozzle so I assume I'll need the 1.5mm for car parts).

However I'm looking into redoing the front and rear bumper of my car. It's a recent BMW so I assume it's finished in 2 pack, (metallic).

Now my question:
I'm not up to doing 2 pack just yet (I don't have the safety equipment and don't feel comfy messing around with it) so just for the ease of operation I'll keep with regular paint (cellulose/acrylic).

Can I redo my bumper without it looking different then the other parts of the car? Is there a difference between 2 pack and cellulose or will it look different because I can't match the paint colours?

Thanks!

Depends on the type of paint, if a solid colour and the original paint is not faded and the paint shop who mix it for you are good then it should match.

I have sprayed guards red celly on the sills of my 944 and you could not tell the join between that and the 2K paint on the rest of the car.

That's nice... I'll practice a bit on a scrap panel somewhere.

I've used a lacquer pen before from the brand "MOTIP" (http://www.motip.nl/) to touch up a scratch and it matched perfectly.
The bumper is of course a separate panel so maybe a minute difference won't show up.
