A good auto supply store (in the USA) will have the ability to mix paints. Be aware that some paints are applied in multiple stages. You can wither apply it with an air brush, a compressor and spray gun, or one of those disposable CO2/bottle arrangements. >I tried this once with black "How wrong can you go with black?", you >might ask. Well, I tried it -- and got burnt. There are various tints >to black. That I know now! Even custom mixed paints will not be an exact match. A quality body shop mixes the paint themselves, tries it, then adjusts a bit. They do that a few times... then they still blend it very carefully into the adjoining panels to get an undetectable match. It's never _exactly_ the same as factory paint but a good body man can make it undetectable. Bodywork and paint work is only a science for the lesser men, it's an art for the true professionals. Are you painting your car or something else ?
