Re: Anyone have a little leftover Brewster Green Medium Lacquer I think you'll be disappointed if you touch up your car or paint a panel with someone else's paint that is theoretically the same color. It likely won't match.
The best bet is to go to a good auto paint store and have them match the color that is on your car with their spectrophotometer. They can then mix you up a small amount for your needs. If you are matching a modern paint, they will also have the hardener and reducer you will need. |

Re: Anyone have a little leftover Brewster Green Medium Lacquer Keep in mind - as I learned through a less-than-satisfactory experience - the color that the paint store "matches" with its specto-whatever gun will only turn up a color already in its data bank that is as close to your color as it can match. It will NOT read your color exactly and magically come up with that formula. I had what I thought was Brewster Green matched for a friend's car and although the mix was close, it was not the same color that was on the car. It was just a shade or two off. When I asked at the paint store (after I had sprayed the paint) why it was not an exact match for what they themselves had identified with their point-and-match gun, the tech explained the process to me = the gun only singles out the closest match it has on file.
You may get lucky and the match will be exact. But if your color had been custom mixed and no formula exists, the recommended match may be off by just a little (as my paint was). Then you'll know why. Modern paint technology and the ability to match colors still have their limitations. Marshall |
Re: Anyone have a little leftover Brewster Green Medium Lacquer With lacquer some can be scraped from hidden area and reconstituted with thinner and used for small spot touch up
