Light metallics were always a problem back in the old days as the air pressure used, thinning ratios, air temp, speed of traverse of the gun all make a difference to how the paint dries and the metallic particles settle.

Hopefully in these moden 2-pack, oven-baked, computer mixed days it should be easier but I guess we've all seen the cars with a wing or a door that's just a fraction wrong.

As for the fancy flip/flop (monogram) paints - how anyone matches them amazes me as the end result is impacted by the number of coats as well.
