Paint Matching - DIY Home Improvement Forum
2023年7月26日 · However, I took the paint home and tried the new full gallon paint and it looks different. It has a yellower tint to it. So I said, OK, it is possible that over the last two years, the paint on the wall has faded, so it's no longer the same. So I went back to the pint size sample, and used the left over paint there, and that sample matches ...
Who can mix paint to match home color exactly?
2007年7月15日 · Generally, even if you have a "leftover", unopened can of paint that is the exact same paint that was put onto a wall at a previous time, you STILL have to paint the entire room over, in order to get a proper match. Paints fade slightly over time. New paint will not look the same as the existing paint on the wall (even if they are the same).
Color matching....how? - DIY Home Improvement Forum
2022年7月16日 · What is best way to make sure the color will be the same (or at least as close as possible): go with whatever SW have in their database (which is apparently "Slumber sloth" - Wheat Bread by Behr and matching paint colors), or paint a sample (1 coat primer + 2 coats Behr paint on a piece of drywall) and have it scanned at the SW store? Thanks
Matching SW colors at Lowe's - DIY Home Improvement Forum
2014年4月15日 · It stands to reason that the manager at the SW Store is apt to do a much better job of color matching than the kid who works part-time in the paint department at Lowes or Home Depot. But it can go the other way too. A couple months ago a SW employee tried to match Glidden "Polished Limestone" that a lady insisted was the perfect color.

2021年10月26日 · Specrophometers will only go so far. After that, its human talent. If you take something to Home Depot to get a match, and its off, they cant do anything else with it. Good paint store employess will get the initial match, either with a spectro machine, or just by color chips, then they need to to doctor the formula by hand.
When store mixes paint for you, how long does it stay mixed?
2019年7月15日 · Unless the paint has been spun at the store within the last day or so, or if it a dark color, I will use my mixing paddle. For stains, I will use my mixing paddle every day I stain and then give it s stir every time I take some new stuff. A word of advice, never paint from the original can, always pour paint into a working can.
A Home Depot/Behr paint experience - DIY Home Improvement …
2013年5月24日 · On to the painting. The colors matched very well (which is to say the Home Depot computer works, and the Behr colorants work.) The paint was quite thick - thicker than I expected. At least as thick as SuperPaint, for example. No spatter. The coverage of the maroon paint was surprising. It went on easily in 1 coat over the tinted primer.
Matching paint via RGB or other values - DIY Home Improvement …
2012年6月27日 · 1. Many major paint brands share their color codes with each other. A real paint store may have the formula for Pratt & Lambert colors. 2. Many paint stores have color scanners that can take a sample and convert it to a paint formula. You can bring in fabric, old paint with missing name or codes or, if it is big enough, a paint selector chip.
Find matching ceiling paint - DIY Home Improvement Forum
2015年1月7日 · Flat paint is what would work best. Primer is not needed if the ceiling already has paint on it. Personally, I use a lot of Sherwin-Williams Promar 400 flat white for ceilings. It's one of the cheaper paints at SW but for some reason it covers well and is a dead flat paint (no angular sheen). I also like the Ceiling Paint from PPG.
Home Depot discontinues FLAT paint - DIY Home Improvement …
2021年3月26日 · I just went to Home Depot 2 days ago and got a quart size of Behr flat paint. I was trying to match the existing flat paint on my wall and wanted a sample size. The employee told me they no longer offer sample size (8oz) for flat or eggshell, the sample size starts with Satin. so I bought a quart can of flat paint instead.
