Question about Paint

[ekcivic1991]

I just went and got my car estimated and stuff and told the guy i wanted electron blue pearl from the 2000 si. He showed me some the paint because he said he already had some but it looks way to dark and purplish. Anybody know what it looks like in the can?

its hard to judge paint by the can but two pearl is an aditive tou add right before u paint either liquid or powder form so his color may be right, but keep in mind a lot of shops are crooks and will do watever it takes to make a sell. also a real paint shop mixes theyre color not purchase pre mixed ****. this is du to paint can go bad to so question is y does he have enough paint sittin in a can to paint a whole car and how old is the paint??? id jus go with ur gut but keep in mind u cant jus take it off if its wrong and u make him redo the job hell only scuff it up and reshoot the color and clear addin more paint on paint and weight and if u chip it it will be a deep cheep due to unnessary paint build up.... whew ok sorry long i know....
