Actually, the guy was great Carl. Although he never showed me the mix, he spent at least a half hour going over chips, comparing them to my collar, until we found a few that looked good.
We brought them into the light as the sun was shining in, and the one we chose looked pretty good. It's obvious I need it to be lighter with a little more blue.
But I haven't given up yet, and I'll go back to him. He really gave me the time of day, and I think we'll find something eventually. The Can was $24.
Blue IS certainly difficult to match. I'll ask to see the mix next time.

I just went through all this with trying to match up my dash paint. The paint store had paint blanks that we could spray the paint on and then blow dry, too see how close we were. Then he would tint more to match up as close as possible with my glovebox. Took a couple of tries but by the time we were done you couldn't tell the dif. Take something with you that you can paint and let dry ( hair dryer ) next time you go. Hope this helps . Good Luck
I couln't find a place in Victoria with a scanner or the one place I did find that had one and it was broken. Forgot to mention to cdnpont make sure your background color is the same on you sample piece, it affects top coat color.

That is excellent. That's the kind of guy you don't mind going back to even if the first time was a fail.
