Yep - agreed.
I've come across problems matching pearlescent paint finishes and those paints with mica particles in - the sort that look different depending upon the angle the car os looked at in relation to the incident sunlight. One case in particular was causing headaches until it was realises that the bodyshop was putting the paint on too thickly (it was a warranty job on a Mercedes) and this caused the colours to invert.
