I'm building my 56 Ford Victoria and while I was painting I grabed the wrong brush and dipped it in the colour I was using little did I know that I used that brush earlyer on a darker colour and one side is the right colour and the other side is darker how can I fix this

P.s The original colour is Matallic Red

What a bummer.

The way I see it, you have two options.
Strip the paint and start all over or you could give the car another coat of the right color. Perhaps another coat could cover the darker color.

Hope it works out for you.

soak the car in brake fluid, with enamel it will come off in about 20 mins or less.

use dot 3 brake fluid , its by far the best way to strip paint!

If you are using acrylics try windex, or rubbing alcohol - surgical spirit if you understand the UK Way of things
