Here's a quick lesson about paint. Car companies have paint codes. This was all we used to need to mix paint, and it would end up perfect. Now there are certain variables to some paint codes. These variables occur for a couple different reasons, and are called "Alternates". Now Ford has used YN silver from 1990-2007, on everything from a Focus to Lightnings, to Mercury's, Lincolns , Etc. Now remember they are also being built in different plants all over the country and Canada. Slight variations occur. Another reason for differences is simple. They are using machines to paint vehicles. The machine may noy get completely flushed of say Yellow, and now it's painting Silver. So the silver will be slightly yellow. You don't realize it but there are a lot of Silver L's running around that look the same but in actuality differ just slightly. Sometimes these colors are so close they can be on a chip right next to each other and you can't tell the difference. Sometimes it's a difference in metallic, or sidetone. It may look perfect in the sunlight, but different at dusk or vice-versa. YN for example. This is copy & pasted right off Martin-senour's website-
See all the differences for YN?? I would recommend this : Go to a body shop or Auto parts store that is good at mixing paint. Be sure that they have the proper "Alternate Color Selector". Mine is chip books upon chip books of colors. Then have them compare the proper YN chip to your truck. Look at it from all angles, in the sunlight, and in the shade if possible. That is the only proper way to do it without having the big dollar gun that looks like a radar gun. Almost noone has that. If I can be any more help, you know where I am.
:-D
Black Sleeper said:Chris your right on the money the Yn has way to many variants! but when your just doing a touchup with a dab of paint and a little brush. it almost dosent matter what variant of the color you mix. Me when I do a touchup for like a stone chip I will mix .2 of a pint. that is equal to a bottel of nailpolish un reduced. it dosent matter in most cases what variant you mix its such a small amount of paint you will not get an acurate mix of the color.
ChrisNelson said:You are correct Black Sleeper. .
