    I don't get why they charge more for it anyway. When you buy it it's the same sort of price as solid colour, and if you get a car sprayed, it's usually no extra cost to get it done in metallic.

    Profit :confused: Often forgotten on here but it is the main reasons most companies exsist.

    Exactly. And a large number of moneysavingexperts work on the presumption that companies should only ever charge 'what it costs' ;) with 'costs' being rather narrowly defined.
    They wouldn't exist if they did. Or 'costs' would be far higher with no incentive to reduce them.
