Seems a bit odd that a color is used that cannot be replicated. Is this because they protect their colors and don't want folks to be able to re-produce the color?
I appreciate the feedback it is more curiosity on my part than anything else.

The issue is with the pearl coat during the paint process. There are many variables to consider: How much pearl is shot, angle of the paint gun, steel panel vs. plastic. If you look closely at an MW M3/4 from the factory the plastic bumper covers have a different shade than the steel parts direct from the factory.
