Thanks Mike. I'm really not sure what happened either. I don't know if I didn't stir it enough or if I sprayed on more coats, etc. It is for sure a little darker, but I think I sort of like the contrast (somewhat). I know when I worked at the body shop, even our experienced painters with all the high tech mixing equipment would get mismatches frequently. They would roll a car into the sunshine, and end up rolling it back for a repaint.
This particular color is like syrup or honey, and even if you stay in one spot a little longer than the others, it comes out different. The metallic factor doesn't help either. But it is as good as I am going to make it, I'm done repainting stuff.
Have fun working on the bike.

".......So sanded it all down and resprayed. ......" Been there. done that on a couple of paint jobs over the years. Usually took me a couple of days to get over being mad before I started...
