I would imagine that is always an issue with pearled type finish regardless of the color. That's some true alchemy there to get just right. You don't have to get it perfect per batch, but if your are matching, that's a whole different story.

Yeah I know everyone has their phones with them all the time but most make for pretty poor pictures if nothing else they don't do the car/subject or whatever justice. Especially in a show car situation, I'm sure there are more of your car our there and this was just some quick photos to share, not hatin' on that just my opinion.

I been hearing it a common problem if you just spray the car with just color code and nothing to compare. I did wish it match better, but I look at the bright side of it at least CARSMO's spoiler pop more.

Hopefully my new phone has a better camera, I notice my G2X camera is on the lower quality of camera as oppose to other on the market currently.
