Very true! I had to do the one side on the 80CD last week as it had a scrape on it. I got my local paint supplier to mix up some Inari Silver (Mettalic) which they could only supply as a water based paint and when I got it back and laid it on, it was way off even after applying 3 coats of basecoat. In the end I took it to the garage opposite me and they managed to get some Solvent based paint from one of their suppiers who still has some in stock and managed to get a perfect match, but they said once it's gone, they can't get any more of it so they mixed up an extra 1/2 litre for me for a "rainy day!"
