I am no expert at anything, least of all paint, but I do have 2 ideas on that.
The home improvement stores and better hardware stores now have computer technology that can scan a color and reproduce it just about exactly, but my guess is you aren't really looking for that kind of paint. The second idea is that if you have some tints and are making it yourself, I would probably get a piece of the cork you are trying to match and sit there and play with it until you get it close. Just in my humble experience level with cork, there are alot of variations in color from one batch to the next. Matt Smith Greensboro, NC Re: Weird question

Maybe a search of the net and I might come up with a site that tells of what colors are in certain colors ???
I am also thinking of say Home Depot may be able to ?? Or a good paint store. Thanks guys Bill - willierods.com Re: Weird question

Most better body shops can scan a color and then mix to match in automotive type paints Re: Weird question

I use the cork filler from Elmer's in the Golden Oak color.
Maybe you could see if they have touch up paint in that color too?? Jon Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
