Re: Matching Paint Colours
Hi
Interesting about 'colour matching', I've been looking around and I'm not sure that there is clear distinction in the ads between 'analysing and producing a bespoke formula' and 'matching' to the closest in our existing colour range. I assume the company I used had a colour analyser to produce a specific receipe.
As I went to pick the paint up myself (as they had made a mistake previously) I watched them doing the mixing. Very interesting - they had paint pots with trigger operated lids that allowed them to drop in precise gram weights of many different thick colour paints into a clear base. The mixture was on scales and this was reset for each colour. Mixed by hand then poured into an aerosol can, next a cap was put on and propellant pumped in.
