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 thought these paint shops had computers to match the paint spot on.....

bring a sample like the glove box door or ashtray and they could do a match.

For exterior I was told the gas cover would work for touch up paints.....

Anybody with experience with computer match up?

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.

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