very very true! any metallic or pearl almost always gets a blend. other wise you will defiantly be able to see the difference in color from every other panel that touches it. ex: door bumper hood. the metallic will have a different flop and could look like it matches at one angle then you take two steps over and could look like its to dark. get it done the right way the first time so you don't end up paying twice. I paint cars every day.
