Paint issue

My buddy is building a really nice Bronco. He has done really clean work. I was over looking at it last night and he told me he has had tons of issues with the painting and I figured good old fashion free range organic intelligence could help better than AI.

So he painted the whole vehicle and then chipped the grill. When he repainted it he noticed that the paint is brighter than before. He painted a hard line so you can see the difference. He has been meticulous about gun settings, even paid attention to ambient temperature and no matter what he does the paint comes out lighter than the original. Any ideas? I am not a car painter.

Anyone with experience spraying Candy over a color shift pearl?

I was hoping this color shift would give me a little bit more orange, rather than just the copper. I do love the look, just wishing I could get a little more out of the orange side. I have read, and seen 1 video, where Candy was applied over a color shift to get some deeper colors, but I don't know if it will work for me or not. I am worried that the orange candy will mute the green, which I also love, and make it more of a brown color. As always, I appreciate any knowledge you are able to share. Ultimately I will need to do a spray out, if I go down this path, most likely with a diluted ratio, so I can dial it in, but if you think it's a moot point then I won't even do a spray out
