Has anyone ever used these guys for their paint?

I'm thinking of ordering some of their cortez silver (code 986) lacquer and was wondering if anyone can comment of their product. Good or bad, I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks

I have. They were to match my 63 Sebring Silver PPG laquer (which when purchasing this color from a PPG vendor, matches the orig fact paint nearly perfectly). But I wanted them to match it in BC/CC. They claimed, that they could match it. I ordered a pint to shoot a sample, I got it after 3 weeks and it was not even close. Even their sample paint chip, which they send with the paint, was not close...
I had very good luck with my last painter (local), who matched the PPG laquer paint perfectly with a BC/CC. He used DuPont, because he works with it all the time.
Auto Color Library uses PPG.
If you want to use their product, have them mix you a pint and you will see...
They may do better with other colors. Sebring Silver is hard to match...

Re: Auto Color Library

My experience with them has always been excellent. No issues with paint match or service. Although, I have only used them for lacquer, so I can't speak to color match for any other type of paint. When I have sprayed BC/CC, I have used a local PPG supplier.
