Default Re: Valuable lesson

Ok guys, time to close this epic search. Ready for some laughs? I went to this guy who has an eye for color, he mixed me up a pint of PPG paint, $90. I thouhgt in the can it looked a little dark. I asked about some Lacquer thinner, which I use to clean my guns, he said a store just up the road called Colors has it. So I went and it's a PPG store. Out of curiosity I asked if he could mix paint code XZA, he looked in his book and said silver trim for a Crossfire? I had him do a pint of the inexpensive kind $27. Came home did 2 color cards, guess what? The cheapo PPG was spot on, the 90$ stuff just a shade too dark. So there you have it, go to PPG store ask for XZA. Voila! I would recommend the $90 stuff though, it's a better quality paint.
