I want to know how to get all the paint to match on my moms car. Its a Cadillac Seville SLS and its silver, nice car right, we though so to for the money and got it. Appearently some body got a little rammy because after washing it I walked out of work and noticed the hood right fender and passenger front door are a brighter silver. This angers me and I want to know if there is something I can use to get the paint to match better without repainting it.

That would probably be tough
to do with out repainting the car!!
It sounds like a shoddy bodywork job.
You may want to repaint the whole car.
Maaco has reasonable prices and
really not a bad paint job for the money!!!

I'm almost thinking it is the other way around. I think that the body shop had the paint matched but they used a higher quality paint than G.M. did, I should have discribed my problem better. Its is more like the right front corner didn't fade as fast as the painter thought it would. It is the same color silver but its like putting a red door on a red car that only the door is differant, both thing could be painted with the same color just out of differant cans and be differant shades of red. My car is the same silver in the shade all over, but the newer paint shines brighter when it is sitting out in the sun. Is there a wax or anything that will even help correct this a little? Should I try clay baring the whole car? I'm new to the "extreme" detailing of vehicles inside and out, I'm more of a truck kid so I go get muddy, REALL REALLY muddy and find the highest pressure car wash I can because normally that dosen't even get it all of it off.
