My fiancée has a 1997 Sentra which she would like to sell. To that end, I'm repainted an area on the rear bumper using spray can touch up primer & paint. Unfortunately, the particular color for the car is only available in quarts for about $80, or in spray form for about $30, as opposed to the $4-$5 such paint usually goes for. So I picked up a GM color which is very, very close, only slightly lighter than the original. I know from past experience with body shops, that they general "blend" a repair (say the hood) into the surrounding areas (e.g., fender tops) since the older finish is typically off a bit in color from fresh paint. How is this done? I'm wondering if the technique might be used to help blend this paint to be a bit less noticeable. Again, it really is quite close (I'm surprised how close), and this is a 6 year old used car with 80,000 miles on it, so I'm not going to sweat bullets TOOOO much on this, but any reasonably simple technique that might help would be of use.
TIA
