[ICOM] Help needed for: ICOM Paint Color and Source

[ted]

Hi Guys
 I paint cars for a living. So  here is what i would do The other guys 
suggestion about go to a automotive paint store is a good idea but do 
this bring a piece of the cabinet you wish to match and ask the clerk at 
the counter to take a photo of the color you wish to match with the 
photo eye or the profit . This device has many different names depending 
upon the paint store in which you visit. But what it does is snap a 
photo of the car in which the painter is having trouble with and then 
compares what it sees when connected to a mixing computer to the closest 
match it could find in a color library. Ask them to make it in base coat 
and add a hardener to it as this will leave a low sheen when sprayed at 
a low pressure..
