Mixing Paint Colors Video

VIDEO SUMMARY

Trying to match the exact color of that desk, cabinet or house exterior when it is time to paint? And the ready made colors just don't match? Or you want a shade that is just a little different.

Go the paint store and buy two quarts of two colors that closely match the desired color. Make sure the paints from the same manufacturer and the same type of paint with the same finish. Put some on the wall to check. If it is not quite right, get a measuring spoon and mix the paints together. Keep track of how many parts of each color you use. Once you found the right mixture, you can use the amounts to blend the paint required for your painting project.

A little trial and error and you will get the perfect color. It takes time and patience. But the results will be worth it.
