Heath Paint

[RAY FRIESS]

I cant remember if it was Home Depot or Lowe's, but I saw an advertisement on TV that said they could match the paint on anything you could bring into the store.

  Okay.. I've skimmed the emails on this... and here is my "input"....

  I suggest, as a last resort, to take the panel, cabinet, etc. to NAPA 
  Car Parts..   Usually there is only one facility in the area that will 
  do "paint matching".  They have a spectrometer and can match your paint, 
  then put it in spray cans and charge only $14 per can... about. 

  They can NOT match paint that is "special" like wrinkle, hammertone, 
  textured, etc.  It has to be a glossy, semi or flat paint.  BUT at least 
  they will match those. 

  I've had good luck on this in Tulsa, Kansas City and Tampa.  At least 
  they come close to matching the ones that are very difficult... I 
  suggest that you develop a rapport with the paint mixer person and get 
  them to experiment.  They can do wonders if THEY WANT TO...
