recently did some spraying on my silver c180 and it looks pants! 
I swear the guy in the auto paint shop gave me the wrong colour mix. Trouble is YOU CAN get variations I know from spray technique temps etc, and though I'm no expert it did look exact before the clear coat.
Its hard to explain I'm aware of the metal flakes and so on, but now its all done and cut back, in comparison with adjacent panels it just looks the wrong silver. Should be brilliant and in the right light its close, but more often it looks a slight bronzey silver.
Any experts or advice please. Dont want to have to redo it. Quite a lot of work and paint.
