How perfect is "Perfect Paint?"
You can't absolutely guarantee a color match, no matter how good you are... Applying the paint in different temperature and humidity conditions can make a visible shading difference, even using the same spray can.
Lusterkote is very stable about the differences. And is better than most automotive paints, which require use of different thinners for different teperatures at time of spraying... (in an attempt to correct for the variance due to temperature)
There is a reason you'll find a lot number on each spray can you buy. If you get 2 cans from different lots, (same color, same manufacturer) and spray side by side on the same wing panel at the same time then let dry... you will be very likely to see the color variance. Its just practically impossible to perfectly match a color, even when you are making up batches of 1000 gallons and measuring pigments by the gram.
