We sell PPG paint exclusively - we do not sell Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore paint brands. However, we excel at color matching! Using our advanced technology, we can perfectly replicate any Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore color using superior PPG formulations. PPG paint often outperforms these competitors in durability, coverage, and color retention while providing better long-term value.

If you have your paint code from any brand: We can create your paint using PPG formulations on the spot during the same visit!
If you need color matching: Typically takes 24 hours for custom color matching to ensure the closest possible accuracy using PPG paint systems.
If you have both paint code AND a physical sample: We can often match and create paint immediately using PPG formulations. Complex or unusual colors may require additional time for the most accurate matching possible.

ALWAYS do a spray-out test before painting your project! This is critical for success. Many variables can affect how paint looks: air pressure (too little darkens color, too much lightens it), number of coats applied, spray technique, surface preparation, and environmental conditions. Even with perfect color matching using our PPG formulations, these factors can change the final appearance. A spray-out test on a hidden area or test panel ensures the color is exactly right before you commit to painting the entire surface.

A paint code is your vehicle manufacturer's specific color identification. Common locations include: driver's side door jamb, glove compartment, under the hood on a sticker or plate, or inside the trunk. The code typically consists of letters and numbers (like "040" for white or "1G3" for silver). If you bring us your paint code, we can often create your paint more quickly using our PPG color database. However, paint codes sometimes require slight adjustments for perfect matches.

Several variables impact final color: Air pressure during spraying (low pressure darkens, high pressure lightens), number of coats applied, spray gun technique and distance, surface preparation quality, primer type and color, environmental conditions (temperature, humidity), and paint application method. This is why we always recommend spray-out testing before full application. Our PPG formulations are precise, but application variables can still affect the final result.

For fastest service: Your vehicle's paint code (found on door jamb or other vehicle locations)
For color matching: A clean, unscratched piece of the original paint (like a gas cap, fender piece, or large paint chip) - minimum 1 inch square
Also helpful: Photos of the area to be painted, information about how much paint you need, and whether you prefer regular containers or spray cans. The cleaner and larger your sample, the more accurate your match will be using our PPG color matching technology.

Complex colors require additional time and precision. Difficult colors include: metallic or pearl finishes, multi-stage paints, faded or weathered colors, custom mixed colors, and tri-coat systems. These may require multiple test batches and adjustments to achieve perfect matches using our PPG formulations. We prioritize accuracy over speed - rushing complex color matches often leads to unsatisfactory results. Standard solid colors typically process faster than specialty finishes.

Skipping spray-out testing can lead to costly mistakes. Even with perfect color matching, application variables can change the final appearance. Without testing, you risk painting an entire surface only to discover the color looks different than expected. This can require expensive repainting, additional materials, and time delays. Our spray-out testing takes minimal time but can save hundreds of dollars in potential rework. We strongly recommend this step for every project.

PPG paint consistently outperforms competitors in several key areas: Superior durability and weather resistance for Pacific Northwest conditions, better coverage requiring fewer coats, advanced color technology with better color retention, professional-grade formulations, eco-friendly low VOC options, and cost-effective performance. As PPG Platinum Distributors, we can match any Sherwin Williams or Benjamin Moore color while providing superior performance characteristics.
