I've read that the match is supposed to be Ralph Lauren - Duke Red. Not knowing if Lowe's could look up a Ralph Lauren color, not personally knowing Mr. Lauren, and wanting to buy the paint tonight, I took up a rather large piece of cabinet for a sample to match. I'll be gluing this back in place, with filler, etc to blend it back in.
Gonna try oil based on this project for the sides. On Robotron, I used latex based, but the oil based black.
This Lowes still can mix in oil-based, but the guy told me he could only do a quart in oil based in gloss. Ok.. Stargate seems pretty glossy, although I'd prefer semi-gloss. He ended up having some error with the software, stating that no formula could be made.
He suggested the Rustoleum off the shelf paints, as there were a couple of reds. The Regal Red ended up being a dead on match. He put a splotch on this piece of wood and dried it. I will be spraying this on the cabinet.
The new paint is in the center-right of the wood-
