If you have a good relationship with whomever you got it from they might take it back. Lot of jobbers say once they mix it, it yours. IDK. Hopefully you can get something back. Store credit would be better than nothing. That's not even close. Hopefully you can get it sorted with the Lesonal.So, here's what they sent. On this much of a mismatch should I be able to get a refund? I'm kinda concerned that it will take several coats of my Standox to cover the darker shade.

They're an hour away and I didn't have a chance to show them the gas cap. I could have sent a picture.I like to give them a part to look at. That way it's easier to pin on them if it's that far off. Cheap toners typically can't quite achieve the clean vibrance of many of the newer colors, though, if they did they would never cover. Even Standox solvent struggles with some of the new really clean saturated colors. All the money is going into water.
Wow, I'm in the sticks but my jobber is 'only' half an hour away. I don't know what I would do in that case. Probably not have them making me paint sight unseen though.They're an hour away and I didn't have a chance to show them the gas cap. I could have sent a picture.
right? thats why i like spi. i just wish there were more single stage colors.You city folk have it good. My Motobase Jobber is in Martinsville VA (Roosters) which is like an hour and 15 minutes if I really fly. One and a half if I get behind traffic. Nearly all back roads as well. I'll drive to save the money though. And I trust them to mix the exact formula. Not just "close enough ".
Does Wanda fall under that app?I use pre mixed paint at work. I have the jobber come and scan the car to try to get the closest variant. Sometimes it's not close enough. When we were using axalta solvent color match was a battle on every car. Scans were not close. Cheaper solvent is worse. Now we went waterborne its not as bad.
Akzo nobel has a phone ap so you can look up the paint code and see the variants and formulas called Mixit. Can look up all their paint lines.
