I've got a burgundy ("arena red metalic") 00 with too many stone chips on the hood. Plus, a local Porsche dealer (HBL) did a remarkably poor job painting the front bumper for the previous owner I'm planning to paint the hood and bumper, and am wondering about matching paint. A local guy that did a great job on 2 projects for me said he mixes his own paint, and was very confident that he'd get it right, including the metalic. $600. I figured one needed the paint from Porsche to get it right. What do you all think?

Thanks
