Thanks for the info Mike. As you suggested I also created a new "Paint" section here in the Restoration Reference forum. I'll move this thread there now.

Took a look at it a bit closer. The ratios/percentage for each base color are the same, so some variation of total batch quantity for some reason... so the same mix!

D777 GREEN 365 365 40.06% 40.06% 1646.6 40.06% 40.06%
D740 BLACK 226.6 591.6 24.87% 64.93% 2669 24.87% 64.93%
D767 FINE AL. 130.6 722.2 14.33% 79.26% 3258.1 14.33% 79.26%
D772 CRS. AL. 111.4 833.6 12.23% 91.48% 3760.6 12.22% 91.48%
D759 MATT BS 69.2 902.8 7.59% 99.08% 4072.7 7.59% 99.08%
