Default NFR Paint Match Procedure

Can anyone direct me to a paint match procedure for NFR? When you buff these cars the pads turn red. The paint must be single stage or tinted clear. I want to give the body shop working on my car every chance to succeed.

Not sure about NFR but I know that the OEM Silverstone Metallic has a tint in the clear.

Body shops should have their own or a company that they contract to use a meter to get the paint color. Not just go off what was originally painted on the car, since at best the car is what 10 years old? Fade happens no matter what.

It is a tinted clear for NFR. Best way I have found is to take the car to the shop and have them match the paint. They will some test panels to try and just right before they spray whatever part you are needing painted.
