I used Maaco on my 88 Monte SS and it came out looking like pure tits
Are you kidding me? I think NBP is one of the EASIEST to match. Or at least blend to where you can't see a difference with the naked eye. I think colors like RR and TW would be a bit harder to get the exact shade right...

Just my opinion tho. I fixed rust spots on my first prelude that was red and the match was not horrible but you could tell that it was different
