  Pantone Ref to Paint problems

  Posted by Harry Cleary on 21 May 2010 at 14:30

  Having problems getting a paint matched to a Pantone colour spec 3302c on this page

  A few of my suppliers can’t find the formula on their systems. Anyone know anything about this? Not had to do this very often.

  harry nearest I can find is Ral 6028 which equals pms 3305, 3302 is slightly darker though.

  Cheers Peter….that might do at a pinch. Just trying to figure out why it’s impossible to get an exact match. 🙁

  Harry, it is not a problem to get a match, if you have a sample of the original colour, any spray shop with mixing equipment can do it, B & Q will also mix dulux to a near match…but
  pantones often dont always convert excactly to other formulaes.

  even with paint it can be dependant on many factors to get a match,
  substrate, primer and material applied to etc

  dark green would be good enough for most
  😀
