Which colours are hardest to spray?

Are some colours considered harder to spray and achieve a good finish?

e.g. are darker colours less forgiving of imperfections than lighter colours?

The darker the colour the easier it is to see when spraying it on..harder colours are light mettalics to avoid clouding..but even harder are inks like GSXR blue..

Yellows and Oranges tend to be transparent. I could go on for hours..

And that Tartan paint looks epic..do they do it in Burberry?

Dark colours show up absolutely everything, even ripples in what did look like perfectly smooth surfaces. On the other hand, creams and whites just show up dirt and can look quite tidy even on a rough car.

Green and red seem quite resistant to imperfections, blue depends on the shade.

Yellow seems to be a tricky one, a mate of mine in the trade di some bodywork on my car when I went to pick it up he was cursing me the car and the colour which was sprint yellow, just no cover at all taking a considerable number of coats to cover late a finish for him rather than an anticipated half day
