Bill,
All "scanned" samples end up with a "formula". I describes which vehicles and
pigments, from that manufacturer, will provide the closest match. So, you can
get a "formula" from any of them. Unfortunately, that "formula" only applies to
the specific manufacturer's pigments and vehicles. It can't be used by another
who uses a diffeernt set of pigments and vehicles.
Make sure you pick the vendor and type of product you want, and let him do it.
If you want a DuPont Enbamel, then that's where to go for an enamel formula. If
you want a PPG Polyurethane (and they have 4 grades), then go there, pick your
grade, and get your sample.
Tower Paint actually has the original Rootes formulas and makes up spray cans
for about $9. They have been mentioned here before, and have an internet
connection. This is, as was the original, an enamel. It comes with a code
number from Chrysler UK, and most major manufacturer's have the equivalent in
hteir pigments and vehicles. BTW: a :vehicle:, if you are not familiar with
it's use here, is not a car but a basic liquid, to which the pigments are added,
to make the can of paint. This can is then mixed with other ingredients before
it ever gets to a spray gun. Each manufacturer has their own "system", and each
body shop is usually equipped to only handle one of them, as the inventory and
equipment are not cheap.
The "reference" that each manufacturer will get, from the Rootes code (like on
the Tower can, not the sales brochure, will say "lighter", or "darker", or some
other qualifying difference other than "identical".
While Tower may give you the Rootes number over the phone, or even sell you the
gallon size containers, it is going to be enamel. If you want the latest color
danded hardened polyurethatne, you need the "equivalent", or a "match". You
could order one spray can from tower, spray a 6x8 checkerboard test panel and
half of an other, and have the dealer scan that. Then he can spray the other
half of the second panel with his "formula" and you can see how close it gets.
That's what I did with PPG, and it works just fine (if you get competent
support).
Steve
