We will be painting my friends '54 3100 soon and he wants to paint it a light metallic blue. The truck is completely disassembled and due to a small painting area, it will not be possible to paint it all at one time. My concern is that because of painting on different days with different weather conditions such as temp and humidity, that the metallic paint may come out looking different. I am also concerned that by spraying on different days, even the way the paint is applied could cause a different look.

I have suggested that going with a non-metallic paint would be a better option. Am I correct with my concerns on this or am I worrying for nothing? I know he is really wanting the metallic paint job.
