I'd leave it up to the painter to figure out how they want to go about the process.
A lot of times they develop their own system through trial and error especially with kandies.
All of the parts have to be sprayed at the same time as matching paint later on is almost impossible.
Which means touching up this paint job will be impossible if it gets damaged later on.
It will need a complete respray for the whole bike to match properly.
Ive taken on board everything you say, but some parts sound hmmm. "color matching" means whatever color can be matched, even later...
