Actually

I remember looking into the paint of my car there's a Titanium Gray Metallic (don't recall the code) and Titanium Gray Metallic II.

What I meant was there's a difference between Titanium Gray Metallic and Titanium Grey Metallic II.

I guess code it's code 892 for Titanium Gray 1 Metallic.

I paint. I disagree with you. So will any body shop and surely any BMW Authorized repair facility will too. Believe what you want.
I've used them all and they're all the same.
You're forgetting the most important thing...these are metallics and HOW you spray including how much PSI you use really does matter.
But don't take my word for it. Call your local BMW body shop and ask them.

You could also have an inexperienced person and they have to blend because of the needed process /technique to apply the paint and they may or may not be familiar with it. However, the paint should match IF they are from an approved supplier and mixed and applied correctly. Of course correctly applied metallic or non met (process). Not just air pressure effects this, but also distance, speed, temperature humidity, there are a lot of factors. Like I said in my post, "This procedure masks/hides the deficient paint and application process and makes it ?less? noticeable. Trust me, I have more experience with BMW paint than you could ever imagine! lol.

Omg dude take a F'N breath! You need to come down to earth and not take it so personal when someone doesnt agree with you. I would tell you exactly about the paint situation but at this point it's irrelevant. You do offer good advice and seem to be very knowledgible but you just have to realize you may not always be correct...
