Interesting thought. Maybe you are correct. Sure would like for Jim Brand to comment as both he and my striper seem to be able to mix 1-Shot Striping Enamels to get them close enough for matching the color ship in the Paint & Refinish guide. While not Apple Green, my striper has mixed Tacoma Crème in 1-Shot and then pulled a stripe on a wheel that was already sprayed in Tacoma urethane. Matched when dried.
