I re-read the OP, GreySaber refers to "textured feel". Are you referring to the very slight wavyness seen only when viewing a reflection closely or at a low angle, or are you looking at the colored/metallic flecks embedded in the paint? The photo posted above clearly shows both... The wavyness in reflections is orange peel, not the colored flecks.

THIS! Colors are sprayed at the factory with the same guns/robots. When there is a change of color, the guns are 'cleaned' out, but residual tones/paint exist which cause slight variations in the color as it is sprayed on several cars. Also, you (OP) may notice the variation of the 'sparkle' or flakes in multi-tone paint (whiteout, asphalt) when it is sprayed over metal vs. plastic of the bumpers. The argento/asphalt is the best for dirt over the raven. Do a search of owners driving themselves crazy (or not) keeping the black cars swirl-free. The biggest difference b/w the twins is the suspesion tuning. This is the first post I have read that expressed these differences, but I haven't read all the posts about this on this site. The FR-S is a bit more stiff, and you just shared to what degree they are different, thanks! Eric G and yeah, its orange peel. This excess can be color/wet sanded and buffed out to a mirror finish. While the FA major may help ID'ing different shades/tints/tones, the physics class you took also will come into play when understanding why the same color/tint/shade 'appears' different in different conditions. |

I love how my customers ask why the bumper doesn't match the body of the car perfectly... I tell them "see... I have this 2013 Subaru BRZ, you probably never heard of it, and it has brand new paint from the factory and it's slightly off. " |

I think mica paints used mica at one point. Now, I think that it refers to a 'metal flake' type color that isn't simply 'silver' in color. Micas usually have a bit of copper/gold in the flake reflection, rather than the simple silver.
