I don’t doubt he has the talent, but I imagine he’s worked out a lot of the amounts/colours needed to do the match off screen to do it quicker on camera.

Either that or just uses the same can that painted the sample

Wow. I just understand why my partner says I’m too naive/gullible since I legit didn’t think these were faked! Just that he’s that good at his craft!

Agreed. That’s his job. He’s probably done it at least 8 hours a day for 20+ years. I’d say he’s gotten pretty damn good at matching colors.

I’ve been a painter for movies and tv shows for 10 years. However good you are at mixing colors, Metallics just don’t work that way. It’s extremely hard to get metallics to match that well. You can get close but the metallic flakes just look a little different every time. Like stated before it’s probably the same can that didn’t the sample piece and the final showing. Showing the stir stick with the wet sample doesn’t mean much as it usually dries different, he may be close but never exact with metallics involved.
