  • 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.
