Car colours getting close to 1970's Honda Candy in recent years

[AshimotoK0]

I saw a lovely metallic (or is it pearl)  red Mazda car a year or so back (also Renault do one in a similar colour) which, when I put my CB250K0  candy red/ white fuel tank  freshly painted by Andrew Parnaby, next to a car in that colour,  it looked an exact match.
Yesterday....  in Sunny Bridlington...  I saw a Vauxhall Mokka in what looked like Candy Gold ...the only modern car I have ever seen that comes close to Honda candy gold. I wonder if the automotive re-finishers have gone back to school to learn how to repair accident damaged  cars in these colours.

Lots of paints nowadays have effect paint. Pearl or candylike.
But what most people don't realise is that when the car is damaged most of the time whole panels must be repainted with no guarantee in colour match.

So think twice about buying that car in a funny colour.
If it needs a repaint and it is not insurance money it might be a costly affair.

Tell me about it 
My new van is less than a month old and some oink has put a massive scratch in the rear door.
Its currently having both rear doors stripped and painted.
Buy the time its stripped, prepped, painted reassembled new badges and new sign writing its going to cost me around £400.
All so someone can probably do it again
