What I ment is red is eaieier than white or silver which are tough to get right and I see our painters consistently getting a good match on reds. Im wondering if the 3 stage paint will be a little tougher though?
I wouldn't say red is easier than white, silver or any other color. There are hundreds of shades of red, different metallics, tri-stages... yes, matching a tri-stage of any color is more difficult.
An interesting car paint note (maybe) ... among the different brands out there (PPG, DuPont, Sherwin-Williams, Sikkens...), within each, there are colors that generally almost always match well, and others which tend to always be a problem. A painter using PPG might find the standard formula on red cars nearly always matches, but he might find he is always battling with whites. Using a different brand of paint, he may find himself fighting the reds.
No matter what brand or what car, it always boils down the the talent and experience of the painter. I know painters who seem to struggle with almost every job, and I know painters who can shoot just about anything and never have a problem.
