You might be right on some base colors. I bought one in CRT and was perfect match. I would never be able to get this finish out of a can.

Looks good. Cheaper than the $128 ones we all bought when they first came out...

Metal Frame cost me $6.00, I sanded it, put 3 coats of inferno orange paint from automotive touch up, and a few coats of clear coat. The paint was left over from the engine cover project
