I was talking with the guy @ Armoutex last week, I was hesitating between 2 RAL colours:
4003 and 4010.
The lighter one (4003) seemed to be the closer match, the 4010 was too dark. The guy advised that metallic lacquer does bring the colour a tone lighter, so I gambled a bit, went for the darker colour with metallic lacquer and the result is satisfying.
If I had chosen the lighter one, I could not have had it with the metallic lacquer otherwise it would have became too bright... I feel lucky the compromise did work...
