    1. I don’t know much about car paint, but I assume it’s like cooking, and I do most things by eye and smell, so it must just be a matter of experience.

      I don’t believe it.  It has been edited.  He already knew the formula from the computer, between takes.

      I’ve worked with a guy who could do this for house paints. The hardware store we worked at sold A LOT of house paint. We had a few booklets of color swatches, the colors were made by following a given recipe/formula. After a while you tend to get a feel for what’s involved in making more common colors. There was a guy who’d worked at the store 20+ years who could more or less “freestyle” match paint using formulas he’d memorized. It wasn’t matching *any* paint but seeing it in real time was very impressive.

      The human eye can distinguish between approximately one and ten million colors. Still pretty cool

    5. Don’t paints darken as they dry? So if it’s an exact match when wet it will be different when dried?

    6. Isn’t it suspicious how all the samples to be copied are exactly the same piece of plastic?

    7. “Yeah I just so happen to have the perfect colors to make that in pint-sized containers an arm’s reach away” come on people ffs.

      People are so dumb. You mean to tell me he didn’t mix that color before and pain that little swatch, then get handed it and remix the same paint. Come on guys, he’s not a savant, he’s a grifter just like ever other TicToc personality.
