Paint Mfgs. Who makes paint closest to the orig.

[RamAirDave]

We were using Standox from 2003 until mid 2005, Sikkens before that. Standox is a good product, but getting the old paint codes was a pain. Only had a handful or so in their database. Usually had to call the mfg to get them to cross reference the DuPont code.

Right now, we're using the new SW product. They've been much better as far as getting the old color codes. Azure Turquoise (1969, code 55) was not in the system so we talked to our supplier and they were able to find and mix it. Thats the only one so far that we havent been able to mix ourselves.

Havent used PPG or DuPont in several years, but they were also pretty good about the old colors.
