Fixing my oopsie at the track and having issues getting the correct paint grrrr.

They mixed me 1 qt get all ready to spray and do a test card just incase LUCKILY i did. According to ppg and martin senour z1 is the same as yz ( no way in hell!!! )

Our cars bright white
Yz kinda a cream off white

Luckily napa is willing to work with me to try and get the correct color.
I tried pro/base again (my truck the color match couldnt have been closer) and no luck

Maybe tec/base or maybe they can get a closer pro just not by code

I was told www.paintscratch.com is a good place to buy paint in various setups, like touch up bottles and rattle cans. I've been told they do a great job of mixing and matching, but I can't confirm that.

That sucks, my paint man told me on the DSG there is actually 3 different tints, hope you get it straightened out?

Spent a hour at napa with the paint guy ....the poor guy mixed up a half dozen different ford whites and NONE match our cars.......we think we figured it out that its just not enough white pigment BUT it darkens up ALOT when drying so he gave me a can of just white pigment and have to mix my own and try, mix and try ect.

Well added almost a pint of bright white tint and still not enough.....close but not right....i am going to try sherwin williams tommarrow there is one by work (sucks because i get a enormous discount at napa on paint). They list 2 seperate mix numbers for oxford white where napa only listed 1

You might ask SW for a discount; I get one as a returning customer for painting around the house.
