I am looking for a paint supplier that I can send a sample of the paint to and have them match it. I would then paint the offended panel. Anyone know of a paint supplier who would match a custom paint? | | | | | Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2013 Posts: 1,384 | If you know what type of paint was used, Your local PPG supplier should be able to match it for you.
Bring a small painted piece to the store and they will figure out the formula. For really off the wall colors They will usually keep the piece for a day and make up small samples till they get the match perfect. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | If you have a PPG or DuPont dealer near you, the best bet would be to let them see a piece that has actually been on the truck, rather than a sample of the paint. That way, they can compensate for fade from the UV exposure. Had that problem last time I needed paint. When it was mixed by the code, it was too dark. Since I had the truck with me, they were able to scan a sample right off the truck and compensate for it. You can't tell what was refinished compared to what was the original paint I applied to it 10 years ago.
