Hey, I have been trying to get a paint mix for Diamond Green Metallic from my local paint supplier here in Australia with no luck whatsoever.

I have this info

L412 and also PPG 42135

https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?...mp;rows=50

also

have this from Glasurit Line 90 Diamont Gruen Met


Target
1.00
ltr kg

Base Amount Cumulative UNIT
M4 688.1 688.1 g
M99/00 85.1 773.2 g
A115 99.4 872.6 g
A926 29.6 902.2 g
A306 16.0 918.1 g
A035 7.0 925.1 g
M1 81.5 1006.6 g



However my local shops are saying they can't mix to those.

Does anyone have a mix I can use? I've spent weeks trying to get this sorted and have had a couple of spray outs that look nothing like it.

I don't have any of the orig colour either to use as a reference for them to scan.

Have you checked with the Gunman? He's also got a repair shop and mixing capabilities.

I have just had a call from the local PPG shop and they reckon they have a water based match. They are going to spray that out and if it matches then we'll do a sampled of that. But I don't have my hopes up.

Shops are using all sorts PPG, cromax, nason, duxone, House of Kolor ....

Why?
