ABSTRACT:
A process for blending paint to match an existing finish. A first color imparting component is first provided, in an amount proportionate to a paint formulation, and mixed with a base coat reducer to obtain a first reduced component. A second color imparting component is also provided, in an amount proportionate to the amount of the first color imparting component according to the paint formulation, and mixed with a base coat reducer to obtain a second reduced component. A portion of the first reduced component is then mixed with a portion of the second reduced component to obtain a base paint. The base paint is tested by applying the base paint onto a surface and allowing it to dry to obtain a painted surface, and comparing the painted surface with an existing finish after simulating a clear coat finish with a lustrous liquid. If the painted surface does not adequately match the existing finish, a further portion of either the first reduced component or second reduced component is added to the base paint which is again tested as described. The process is repeated until a suitable base pant is obtained.
