In TV lighting you use a blue filter to get the correct colour
temperature.


The thing with painting is that some colours will look fine under artificial
light but be shown as a poor match under daylight, so you need the right
spectrum. Had a chat with a sprayer since posting and apparently you can get
away with normal bulbs as I'm doing the whole car so there's no match to
worry about...
