When I worked for a Bodyshop supply house we sold PPG and DuPont and RM paints. Greens and reds were the thinnest of the paints. Meaning it took a extra layer or two to cover. Reds are the most expensive to make. Yellows and white and black had the most pigment. The rest are fillers and binders. I set up and tought the new systems to the shops when we took over their supply. I was trained by Dupont and PPG. The color scale was a nightmare sometimes. You had to pass a test of 100 colors and put them in order from one shade to the next. I had a hard time with reds for some reason.
Interior paint for the plastics was the worst thing in the business to match. The plastics as they aged would turn different colors and would absorb some colors better than others. We sold SEM if I remember right.
Don't even get me started on the tri coats! What a pain! It would be neat if we could do that with the PC. Silver bullet with a base layer of gold metallic clear with a blue or red tinted clear over that. I think it might work????
