  Paint mixing to pantone

  Posted by M Brown on 15 June 2010 at 10:52

  Hi All,

  I just had a costumer phone about having paint made up to match Pantone Spot 207. Does anyone know where I can get paint mixed to Pantone colour references?

  Thanks

  From Mark

  If you take a pantone swatch to somewhere like B&Q where they mix their own paint then will scan that colour and get as close as possible to it.

  Have done it a couple of times with mixed results.

  Cheers

  Dulux and Crown both have conversions. Just had a small tin mixed the other day. Its mainly the base paint you pay for, the colour is just added to a set formula…….took about 5 minutes.
