To this end, I mixed up a color as close as I could come; checking blobs on test plastic next to the paint already on the body. I sprayed the trunk lid with a couple coats, and let it cure. After comparing, I saw the new mix was too light, so I added more gunmetal to the remaining mix and sprayed another pair of coats.
Next day: Still too light. More gunmetal. Two more coats.
Tonight: If it's still too light, I'll have to go for broke now, because I can only thin out my current mix so much before it's all thinner... :o
