It's a tri-coat metallic. The metal flake that is added is very difficult to match when the car is not all painted at once. The metal flake will lay differently, especially when the car is painted at the factory with electrostatics. The pearl white is the only Z color like that. They will be able to get close, but it will never match exactly.
