I am building a 71 Charger that was originally B5, however now it has a red passenger fender, black (EDP) drivers side quarter skin, black (EDP) drivers side lower quarter patch and a EDP air grabber hood. I would like to try and match the existing faded B5 patina that is on the rest of the car if possible.
I am thinking that I would need to paint the red fender and EDP panels the same manner which the car was originally painted and then patina them is some fashion.
My other option is to just leave the mismatched panels as they are and roll with that which I would rather not do. The objective is to have the car look "field fresh" however it will have a new interior along with a new 5.7 Hemi and TKX trans. The engine compartment, interior and trunk will all be new and nice, I am going to paint the engine compartment with B5 as well probably inside the trunk and perhaps the door jams.
Just for clarity, I am not asking "if" I should do this I am asking for advice on "how" to do it.
