I found the colour-code thingy for my car under the bonnet, so I presumed that when I got the paint from Halfords it would match.
The problem is is that theres quite a noticeable difference between the new paint (on the doorhandles) and the paint on the car.
Any idea's how I can match them? Cause to be honest its looks wank 
Do Corsa's come in only 1 shade of Red?! (Flame Red)
And no, I didn't choose to have a red car thats fading

I had this problem when I sprayed my light brows. After a couple of weeks it isn't as obvious. Try giving the car a polish with the red turtle wax, then normal wax, this makes the red more red (if u know what I mean)
By the way, mines flame red too.

my bro has a flame red corsa, some of it was sprayed only 6 months ago, and it has faded in that time, not noticeable until new paint went on again. this time we are spraying the entire car with 2k paint so it shouldnt fade now. try t-cutting your car mate.

I've already tried T-cutting to no real effect 
I'm thinking of getting a re-spray at some point in the distant future. Is it really worth getting it Flame Red again, or will another colour go over equally as well?
Thanks for the replies btw
