Very hard to show in photos, But when matching paint samples, they look different in different types of lighting. Inside VS outside, LED lighting VS sodium halide high bays, etc. This is why it is always important to check color matches in the sunlight for best color matching. Ironically diffrent paint companies pigments will also look different even when making the same color from one supplier to the next (PPG VS Prospray VS Glasserit). It is always best to to buff out and polish up an original piece from the scooter you intend to repaint/paint a part for and have that matched or the color made and tinted to match, this way insuring a perfect color match every time! Shown here is an all original paint 1974 150 super undergoing a full preservation here at 2nd Avenue Scooters. All three of the max meyer factory paint cards DO NOT MATCH the paint (allthough hard to see in these photos).
