The color comes from the metal particles in the paint, from their size, shape and orientation.

For the size and shape buying the right paint: Standox, Spies-Hecker, or Glasurit; ensures you get paint with the same size/shape particles as the paint applied at the factory had.

Then applying the paint under the proper conditions plays a role in the orientation of the particles so the color of the newly painted panels matches that of the original panels.

Even so, arctic silver paint generally requires adjacent panels be sprayed some to blend the paint so there's no noticeable differences in paint of adjacent panels.
