Colour matching paint
snezza69:
I have seen a colour that I really want to paint my Land Rover. I have a sample of the paint.
Can anyone tell me where I can get a colour match (recommendations please).
I was told it was quite expensive though!
It is a flat colour!
blackbob:
try halfords (sorry didnt mean to swear)
opps just seen your location
or paint factors will mix it for u
or local body shop :D
smo:
A decent paint supplier to bodyshops will have the spectrometer and kit needed to accuratly match it, however as you only need a "close" match rather than a perfect one go and ask to look at the pantone charts, youll find the colour on there and simply then get the paint mixed up :)
snezza69:
If I get the pantone ref number off Photoshop for the nearest match, will it then be a case of ordering, or will that be a bit hit and miss?
blackbob:
look for a car the same colour and get the paint code from it
