Can This Paint Be Tinted To Match
I purchased Kirker Inferno Red Metallic. I ran out of paint so I ordered more but it's not the same color. Kirker is telling me its Inferno Red but its not. They sent me a draw-down of what they have as Inferno Red, what color do you think it is? Can this be tinted to the right color?

Re: Can This Paint Be Tinted To Match
That’s a bummer paint matching is tuff. No two batches are going to be the same all it takes is a drop to much or to little of one of the ingredients and you have a miss match, when you buy more than a gallon they need to be batched. If you get the formula you can try a small amount and play with it keep track of You’re changes good luck

Re: Can This Paint Be Tinted To Match
It looks just like the Habanero Metallic (right side of the chip card). I have 2-1/2 gallons of this. Can the paint that I have be mixed to look like the chip on the left (Inferno Red)?

Re: Can This Paint Be Tinted To Match
I agree it looks closer to the other paint chip how much do you already got painted if it’s not a lot mixed 2 1/2 gallons you got together so you know you have one color Scuff your parts and re-shoot them or send them that picture and keep arguing with them. But another thing you have to understand is how air pressure gun settings among other things can change the color with metallics to do it right it should be shot assembled all at one time
AKA the HACK
