What are the pros and cons of metallic paint on cars?

Metallic paint generally looks better than a flat colour but it is far more difficult to match if its damaged. usually its made up of several different coats, a base coat, a second coat with a metallic speckle, in it and finally a lacquer top coat. The problem comes because air pressure in the spray gun, temperature and amount of paint built up can all change the colour.What are the pros and cons of metallic paint on cars?
Pro's- Looks great





Cons- harder to paint a car, then to do touch up, and match if need later on. I would still get metallic if I had any of my vehicles painted.What are the pros and cons of metallic paint on cars?
