Paint flip on a solid colour?????
I'm wondering if they mixed enough paint to do the whole job rather than mixing more to do the extras. Did they use the same primer shade on the flares?
Is a few possibilities but not a flip, flip happens with how the metallic flake lays down when sprayed.

Are you sure it isnt just the reflected light doing it?
Because the flares are at a different angle, the reflected light can give it a difference in observed colour.
You can notice it a lot on cars with integral plastics.
It can be painted along with the joining panel, but will appear different because of the change of angle.

Im gonna Guess Papaya was not available off a colour chart for your painter.
It was likely a custom mix, and frOck knows its translucency.
It should have zero flip. Period. in the shade if you hold the flare up to the body panel it attaches to it should match perfectly.
Anything less you have been #@$^%& over.

I just re read your first post, I fail to see the confusion?
You have received a sub par job. From your explanation it is not correct, and it sounds like the painter does not wish to fix it as he told you the bullshit about Papaya having flip, which it does not.

Don't really understand what that means? How do you mean I've been fkd over??
The 2 best ways to check it will be either under a fluro light or in the sun, give those a go & see how it looks mate. If they're thin, he can block them & re shoot them with some colour. Angles could make it look a little different do those things & walk around, pretty simple fix really. But as i said colour can vary if not all done at once, i think i made that mistake twice. I can't see photos, so my advice is non visual like stevie wonder.

Its a straight colour it should not vary with angle, looks like a lighter shade, incorrect mix. If it had a pearl or 3 part colour system to it I could understand the variation. The only thing to me that jumps out is. he might not have put enough coats on and is getting a little show through.

Mick's correct, you can use the same tin of paint on a different day & get a slightly different shade
One painter told me with metallics, the metallic particles sink to the bottom of the mix and the stuff sitting around on the bench can give you a different shade in the time it takes to empty the first lot from the gun.

Every painter i have known mixes the paint every time between pots mate. There's a lot of techniques used to lay out the metalic particles equally, i use the old fashioned way of doing to avoid the poor particle layout. It's not worth taking the chance. A good painter knows what he's doing, but anyone can make a mistake.

I believe that's what he was saying; it requires mixing even after it's been sitting on the bench a short time.

Yeah mate, i suppose that's obvious to me being around it, i would have thought that you would notice & just stir it, but I've been around paint ect for a long time. Pearls are much worse for that.
