i hear all this about S2k colors all being tri-color, but buying from automotivetouchup.com, silverstone wasn't offered tri-color.
so i bought two cans of the NH630M (just single colored).

I did a test spray on a piece of plastic and it ended up much darker than the color of my car, like a good two shades. I bought OEM touchup pen straight from the Honda dealer and this was a good two shades darker as well.

Anybody know why? i'd like to paint my AP1 lip I just bought soon, but am very afraid of unmatching paint
if it's too dark, is there any way i can lighten it like the way you do with tri-color?

 

car color might of faded over the years
