My '50 VW has a very good 54 year old paint job. I don't want to re-paint the whole car. But I need to do some minor body work on the front fenders and hood to get them back to correct for 1950. (In 1963 someone "upgraded" the car to look newer with oval horn grills and a hood crest which wasn't introduced until 1951.)

Is it even possible to paint just the repair areas? I doubt it. If I paint just the fenders and hood, can they match the rest of the car perfectly, considering the 54 year old paint has likely faded a bit?
