What it looks like on the screen can sometimes be WAY different than what you get in the can, as I found out with Colorbond. SEM wants $100 to send in a piece of my interior to have them match it

I am looking for real experiences that people have had.

Did you try asking a body shop or a paint supply if they can mix you a pint of the color you need???

The SEM stuff is really good but the don't have a color chart to mix at least the last time i did it. Last time I went that route I had to mix the standard colors until I got the best possible match. Maybe its changed, that was about 10 years ago.

I had a paint supply place mix dye off my code 2 times, neither was close. Then they took a piece of my interior to do an exact match, that didnt match either.
