I had my RV6 painted by James Barnhart at Air Colors, Urbana, OH in November 2004. He did a pretty good job, but unfortunately went out of business and disappeared with no forwarding address in October 2005. At the time he painted my plane, I had picked out the colors I wanted from the Sherwin Williams chart, and gave him those numbers. He asked if he could use PPG, could match my colors, and he preferred their system. I said okay, but unfortunately he never provided the PPG paint spec numbers back to me in either the contract or the final invoice. I never thought about it at the time.
I recently asked a buddy who has painted autos professionally for years if he could touch up a few scratches now on my plane. He contacted PPG who said they didn’t have a direct cross reference to the SW colors, apparently having a larger number of color tints that SW. They remembered James and the “great records” he kept and couldn’t understand why I didn’t have the specs for my plane.
So here I am. If anyone knows where James Barnhart has surfaced in the country and can get a message to him, I’m not trying to hold him to the warranty, but I really need the paint specs for my plane.
If anyone else has an idea on how to match it without buying eight different gallons of paint, I would appreciate it.

Not much of a problem if you're close to town. DuPont and PPG both make a device, I think DuPont's is called Chroma-Vision that you carry out to the car and it analyzes the paint color and then creates a formula to match that color. Call any place that specializes in automotive paint finishes and you should be fine. Look for a DuPont or PPG distributor. They will have to go to the plane to match it up unless you can bring a panel or something similar to their place of business. Let me know if you need more info. They will probably expect that you buy the paint from them

This is a link for a little more information on the color match system. Should be able to match the PPG with DuPont if you can't find a PPG distributor.
