40th paint color match problem

theART

Same SH*T different day, this 40th Anv paint is driving me insane!

The Nissan KAV paint code is extremely hard to match for some reason, it always comes out too dark. I tried:

- Onyx paint twice
- Matrix paint 4 times (I had only one sample match close, asked the guy to make me a half a liter exactly how he mixed, and it turned out too dark once again)

And none of these really worked, all turned out few shades too dark. I am going to try few other paint suppliers and also try to fix (lighten up) the paint I already have, hopefully something positive happens.

Just venting at this point

I went into a car painters wholesalers , gave them the code and they mixed up a little bottle of touch up paint

Name they had for it KAV code is not what Nissan call it . .but its the same colour

KAV = Grey Pearl

and my 350z KYO
KYO = sporty silver metallic

50 grams of paint cost $25NZ in a touch up bottle with a brush in lid.
