VZ Calais
Hello friends,

I've been trying for weeks now to match the color to my VZ Calais, in 'Odyssey' color (code: 276M) to spray a small fiberglass part.

I have tried several brands color matches including Hichem and Nomix, but they're all off by a fair margin (usually too dark and not blue enough). I understand metallics/pearls are tricky...
I'd prefer to use an acrylic lacquer with an acrylic clear over the top, only need <500mL of paint.

Now, any recommendations about who can do it right, or anyone experienced with this color?

most of the time matches are 100% off the computer. you need to take it to a panel shop that has a professional spray painter that knows how to color match. i use standox and i rarely get a color that dosent need adjusting.

what suburb you in?
