Has anyone ever bought paint from "paint scratch"? Looking for sealing wax red and they have it. Price is a bit expensive but willing to pay for that color. Just want to hear some reviews.

Thanks, Josh

Since you say Sealing Wax Red though:
I would be worried about matching that color.
I have seen 2-3 different sealing wax reds on Buses, all original paint but different years.
I think this color also fades differently depending on location and exposure to the elements.
So it might not match what YOU have in front of you.
It might be better to try to do it locally is possible and have them computer match something you already have there.

I bought prairie beige from paint scratch several years ago. Thought it was right, however as Everett noted IF you are looking to color match for touch up, better off going local to have them match rather than buying to a formula & as pointed out swr is another animal all together.
