I haven't had to match car paint (Dave still has a can of Nigel's colour for
touch ups), but I have gone to have colours mixed for my apartment. The
computor system is great! I had a sort of unsual blue that I needed more of
a year and a half after the origina; batch-took the lid, with the computor
code on it, to my local Home Depot et voila! An absolutely perfect match!
(They really can make a match to a fabric swatch, or a flower-just like in
the commercials!)
