Default Re: Cortez Silver paint sample needed

I just did a code 69 color match on a Norwood built 12C X66.
If you are using Axalta Chroma base these are the numbers I used to get to the original sprayed color.


I have Finish Masters mix a pint using the book formula.
I spray it out and clear then check direct and 45deg.
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">If I can see a difference in original vs spray out.</span></span>
I weigh out 40.000g of the mixed paint in three separate containers adding the requisite tint in the following amounts 0.25g to one, 0.50g to one, and 1.00g to the last.
I spray out those 3, clear, and check.
If necessary adjust ratios, respray, and check again.

These are about 7x actual size, with the actual size depicted in these photos being 1&quot; tall by 1.5&quot; wide
