    Silver is definitely harder to color match. Black is a pretty simple color to match due to its darkness.

    Silver because of the metallic. The temp you spray it at, the air pressure, the distance from the panel when it's sprayed, the reducer used fast med, slow etc..etc all can make the color different.
