This didnt need its own thread, and doesnt pertain to 240s at all but im in a good mood today so ill tell you...
Its pretty decent. I wouldnt paint a whole car with it or anything though.

They match terribly on nissans, we tried all their reds for a oem 240... with different primers and they all came out noticeably way off, even though the can says nissan. Also the paint is very light.. requires 3 layers before it filled out.. so you might spend a bit more if your going to spray a large portions. (1 can = barely 2 fenders.)

Yes, that stuff does cover like shit. Gets expensive pretty quick if your trying to cover a larger surface.

The silver is really good(Used on 2G gsx)(Used on mazda 6)
The white isn't bad(used on 240)
The black isn't bad(used on honda)(Used on miata)
Just personal experience here.
Not sure on rest

+1 Should only use it for little spots probably take 2-3 cans to do a panel which is like $7+ a can I think.

Just get a pint of single stage paint mixed at sherwin williams/ napa if you want to be cheap and do a reasonably good job.

My whole car has been painted with Dupli color Brilliant black crystal before by the previous owner. I just need to repaint the passenger fender the same color, but i was wondering if it would look the same.

i used the nissan cherry red pearl duplicolor perfect match and it matched the nissan crimson red perfectly :smash:
i wouldn't recommend it that's for sure

i actually just used this stuff to fix 4 rather large spots on my old 240 i can send you the pics if you want. it matched up nice but it wasnt a 100% match but from a distance you couldent even tell the diffrence... then a couple weeks later it flaked off in the car wash only down point it simply doesnt last.

No paint will ever match exactly, due to weathered old paint or what not, u can only blend it so its not noticeable
i bought the spray can grey, it didn't match at all.
