Default Color chart

I can't find a color chart for any of the name brands of spray paint. Does anyone know how I can obtain these?

You can go to a automotive paint shop and they will take a picture of your paint and put any color in a can when they take the picture the computer matches it perfectly even better than duplucolor . This is a shop that sells automotive paint!

jm29henry, I sure would like to know what paint store you used. Both Sherwin Williams auto paint and PPG stores take a picture (so to speak) which give them the closest match in their system. Then they have to do test panels and fine tune the formula. I've been through it with Manila Brown and Moleskin Brown.

I did specify Spray paint. Meaning spray can. I have just a small area to paint and to tell the truth, I am afraid of spraying/mixing auto paint. I will, however read up on it. Thanks!

What is the best way to do touch up painting on small areas without paying to have the whole car repainted?

Krylon has them, go to the web site and ask for one. I never knew all the types of paint they sold until I got a catalog.
