Vinyl is almost impossible to get paint to stick to (and stay stuck).

You left off Cadillac, Saturn, Opel, Holden, Wuling, LaSalle, McLaughlin, Oakland, Hummer, Vauxhall, and Saab [which was a good car 'til GM purchased it]. ;--) Uh oh, the thread drift police will come for us! So back to matching paint: At some point, I'm going to go to Sherwin-Williams to get a good match and re varnish all the wood that's getting banged up and will fill the holes from all the stuff I've removed such as the tele. I wish they'd come up with a paint that would stick to the vinyl walls but I don't think that's in the offing.

Some paint stores do better at paint matching than others. The people at Lowes, or HD, or maybe ACE do paint as a side-line. If I was trying to get a color match, I would go to Sherwin Williams, or Benjamin Moore, or Kelly Moore.

If you want to match a Sherwin-Williams mix, you need to have them do it. And they have pretty good quality products anyway. Just wait until the monthly 30% discount rolls around before you do it.

Thanks for the formula. I took a draw front to Lows to get a match and they didn't come closed.

Here is the Sherwin-Williams formula for the rpod dark brown colored wood. Will need to build up 3 to 4 coats to get results that match.

Thanks. One more question: How did you match the stain? Would you please list the formula? I thought I had seen it before, but couldn't find it. I got close on my last attempt, but it still was not right.
