Match Interior Paint
Let’s say you want to match the color that you already painted on your wall. Your goal is to match the new hue as close to the original paint color as possible. Remove a couple of small pieces of paint chips from your wall to take to a painting store. The employees will try to get as close as they can to the existing shade. Pick up a bunch of paint samples at a paint store to take home with you, if removing a chip from your wall isn’t possible. Choose a time where you see the most natural light in the room your painting in. Hold one of the samples up to the wall. Place a couple pieces of tape around the edges of the sample to keep it in place. Stand back to see how well the hues match. Take them back to the store, if the colors don’t match as well as you would like them to. Phone a local Atlanta home painting company to come out and appraise the situation, if your still unsure about how well the colors match. The professionals at will advice you and recommend how you should proceed with painting your interior wall.
Match Exterior Paint
You decided that you want to repaint the outside of your home. Updating the existing color is simple. Gather together a bag and a razor. Find a spot where the paint color doesn’t stand out such as behind a border bush or under an awning. Remove a piece of paint with your razor. Place the piece you scrapped off into the bag. Go to a paint store to have them match the paint color. Take the sample back home with you. Place the samples up to the wall to see how well the shades match each other. Choose the sample that best matches your existing paint. The Paint Doctor can paint your walls in a professional manner, matching your existing shade, on both your interior and exterior walls.
