Paint doesn't match!!!!

[connery-sri]

Started to colour code my mud flaps today.
Got Bamboo Green from the vx stealers, but it doesn't seem to match up.
With the paint I have got I have done two coats, which I know is not enough, but when held up against the car it looks more blue!!

Has anyone else had this problem? Or is it just me?
Perhaps after a few more coats it will be ok? Any ideas?
Went to halfords tonight to try and buy a bigger tin as they say they can make 46000 different paints, strangely not bamboo green!!!
Do I get more from the stealers and see if it gets any better??

Sorry for all the questions!!!

Did you use grey or white primer?

[connery-sri]

Used white.
Is that correct?

[rushy]

Yup, Vx use water based white primer, grey would make it darker.

[connery-sri]

Strange that it would look different!!!

How did you solve it??

[big rich]

spraying with cans....90% of the time looks horrid, you need to take them to a body shop where they can be done proply with a compressor.
