Actually, for any vehicle color there are variations according to where it
was made. So, for any given paint code, there could be as much as 6+
variations of the same color. And even with the "best" variant formula,
adjustments have to be made by the painter at a bodyshop if the car is
in for repair and/or refinishing. And the paint type used at a shop is not
the same as the original factory finish. And those little touch-up kits from
the dealers are of a different type as well. They're a non catalyzed lacquer
paint that merely drys and is not durable. Not permanent.
