anyone have some leftover paint from their restorations that they can dip a stirring stick into, let dry and send to me? less than an ounce in weight so it can be shipped cheaply in an envelope. I'll even send a SASE and stick if needed.
 
Why? What is your goal in collecting them?

not exactly sure yet. To clarify, I'm looking for ones that were computer matched (custom colors). Not ones from a color chart.
Here's the issue. I had a color matched a few years ago for a cabinet. I saved the can with little left for future reference on the base used, color code etc. The other day i went to get another can of it. Sure enough, after just a few years the code is no longer good for that particular base...they changed the formula. They had to rematch the color from a sample taken out of the old can....something they could not get if i only brought in a paper with the code written down.
This happens all the time. Usually though i can just pull out an older fan deck and provide a sample of the color for them to match. Can't do that when it;s a custom color though.

Like i said, don't know what I'd do with them as of yet. Just got frustrated knowing i got several projects coming up and a few i will need to rely on paint codes and i won't know if it is wrong or right.
maybe i'll just seek out the specific ones i need.
