To: 57pack,------- There probably is no formula in ChromaBase for Inca Cream.....but if You have a good sample (such as inside a door jamb) most paint stores can take a picture with a special
camera they can 'create' a formula from. This is done all the time. QUESTION: Why ChromaBase? Is this just a panel repair?

Thanks for the info. My local paint supplier is
a DuPont jobber. Been using him for
many years. I have always had good luck
using ChromaBase, just familiar with it.
I have to repaint the roof and lower half of
the car,
I will use your suggestion for a good match, just
Trying to make it easier on their paint mixer.

Their digital scanner will match your original to the closest modern formula in their database. If it calls for pearls or metalflake, with some exceptions, you may want to edit the mix.

What Brad said! These computer match scanners are NOT a 100% sure thing for a color match. It will only come close then may need some additional color toners added or removed. A good paint jobber can assist with the match from that point if you have a good color sample for him to look at during the process a mixing. BUT color still needs to be sprayed out on a test panel and allowed to cure to have a true representation of the final color match.
