Sorry to semi hi-jack this thread, but was looking at those colors and can't tell if mine is the Arctic or Sunbeam Silver Metallic. Why are there 2 colors so close together?

 

Artic silver is slightly bluer than Sunbeam silver.

Artic silver could confused for a light light blue silver, while sunbeam silver is most surely silver silver.

 

i saved this from a while back

do these cars have clearcoat, or is it the kind of job that uses a 1 step paint?
