If you have a good smartphone you can download a spectrophotometer and scan the color you have, then it will generate a Pantone code for a matching color. |

Of course it won't be 100% match because an app will never be as accurate as a 10k dollar lab instrument, but it will help you getting super close (maybe only 1 shade darker or lighter that is almost unnoticeable) |

I guess my uncle just told me that I can take apart to Carquest or O'Reillys and they have a scanner and should be able to get me a pretty good match for the paint. |

I have a pink Maytag set I'm needing to repaint. Both my uncles rebuild wrecked cars and have all the equipment and knowledge needed to repaint the cabinet. Was just curious as to where people on here who re paint old appliances get their pain't. |

Isn't the enamel going to be an issue? |

Link will take you to Maytag page but site has codes for most appliance makes.
