It's not exact, but it laid down really nicely on my steel wheels. All I did was give them the paint code from my fender tag.

This information is then input into their computer and then the closest match is provided. This has worked out really well for me when trying to match paint on older somewhat faded cars.

On occasion they still need to manually adjust the formula to obtain the right match. This takes a guy with some experience. Once it's mixed they can put in spray cans for you. The cans are purchased already charged and they just add the paint. Pretty simple operation. In the Minneapolis/St Paul metro area it costs $95-125 for color match and mix of a pint of paint, and around $8.50-10.00 per can to put in spray cans. We get into this with regularity where we've powder coated something that's going to be installed somewhere else in the country and the customer requests touch up paint to fix boo boo's that happen during installation. Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way
