they are gonna mix me a quart of paint, but they aren't gonna give me a formula unless I pay them $75 more
Denny,
That's not standard in my area. The PPG jobber gave me all formulas from color scans.
Have you called PPG for a formula (usually it is what they call an "offset" formula)?
Tim
These phone numbers are old, but I got every color code (and offset formula) I needed (several years ago):
440-572-6100 PPG Color Library
440-572-6111 PPG Tech Services Refinish (gave me the phone number for the Color Library)
