Incorrect. The color code on a car, can have literally hundreds of variances to that color.
To also clear some confusion up, Glasurit is a clear coat. Not a basecoat.
Infiniti, does not use any high end clearcoat, don't ask why... They should sometime soon because our clearcoats suck. Lexus, BMW, and all other High end vehicles are using Glasurit, Speiz-Heckler (Not sure how you spell it) already from factory.
And as for the thread maker, I have never heard of "transferring" paint from one panel to the other.
I go to school for collision repair which does involve paint obviously and that is absolute crap that body shop is feeding you.
My dad also owns a collision shop here in South Fla. so that might explain how I know some of these kinds of things..

naughty works in what i assume a quality shop since they use glasurit, and therefore know what he's talking about. i worked in a bodyshop and owned/operated one of my own for five years. all i can say here is that THERE ARE A LOT OF GUYS ON HERE WHO HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT, YET GO ON AND ON.

We used Diamont lol we were too cheap for Glasurit, its still BASF though. they use the whole line 100% down to the can primers. Its quality but dont match for ****, I have tons of test cards I make then write my own formula on the back with what grams I add and leave out.
So why did you get out of it? Cause I know Im getting out soon too.
