Wow. I would love to see a video of the entire procedure. Perhaps I can intern for you next summer.
 
Photos look good, but how does it look in person? Red is a tough color to match.
 
I would also love to see a video of this type of repair done with the airbrush if you can on your next save. Thank you for sharing your work with the forum.

Your right, red is tough. Red has limited opacity, so thickness of red will darken as it gets thicker. However, for a scratch touch up the color looks good and from eye level it looks pretty good.
The customer wanted the least aggressive solution to this scratch without a respray also we wanted to keep the factory paint in tact. A traditional body shop repair would have been the door and rear quarter respray. At least it was not a 3 stage car that would be an even larger challenge.
