No way to tell unless you have painted parts of each to compare. Wet paint often differs from dry paint.

So looking for comments between the two samples. The engine parts are painted in Eastwood 2k engine paint and the sample of the open can of OMNI, which is the gold standard. How close do you think the two are?

Ok well that's the next step then. I got some overspray on one of the valve covers. I guess I'll strip one and paint it with the OMNI and compare.

Went to harbor freight and bought a $35 spray gun with a regulator to finish this comparison. So here is a side by side comparison between the Eastwood 2k and the OMNI. The OMNI is definitely more blue. The Eastwood is kind of "muted". So the best way to go is to go to an automotive paint store and buy the OMNI. The OMNI looks GREAT!!
