I'm being told those PPG codes can't be mixed because the toners are obsolete, except for one or two that are available in waterbase only. Again, picking a color off a color wheel is not what I had in mind when I went to get the paint and finish guide scanned. Those Dupont codes did cross ref to Standox but it seems like a copy of a copy, each time being a little less accurate. I thought with todays technology the Paint and Finish guide could be scanned and analyzed for a perfect match. I realize a close match can be tinted until it looks right but that just seems like so much guessing.
