Fan Shroud Repair

[8T03S1425]

Some time ago, my fan shroud broke when it was in storage. It's since been repaired and painted black to mask the repair. I've since stripped off the black paint and was hoping I can have the repair masked to better match the original appearance.

What services are out there to address this situation?

I bought a bunch of acrylic colors from an arts and craft chain store, thinking I may be able to blend up a color, but that may be an exercise in futility and frustration.

Here's what I dealing with:











In addition to the repair, there are a few spots that seem to have been discolored by a chemical.

I have seen some that were ten times worse that these guys fixed correctly . http://billupsclassiccars.com/About_Us.htm . It will not be cheap but if it is a C8-A assemblyline shroud it is worth it. not so much if it a later service replacement .

Thank you for the recommendation Bob.

I'll check in with Billups and see where we can go from here.

go to dog groomer or barber shop, get grey/white short hairs from recent cuts, spray flat black, while still wet, sprinkle hairs into wet paint, pat down flat, let dry, mix a little brown/grey/black mix paint, lightly spray over, scuff over lightly so hairs just pop thru, finish with semi (or flat) clear.
