    How get I get an exact match for the paint I already have on the wall? (it is to repair a section of the paintwork that has deteriorated)

    When I thumb my way through the colour catalogue I cannot find the exact one.

    I have a plan which is to get as close as I can and then to buy an extra few small cans to mix in to make up the final difference.

    Is that going to work and is it the only way of doing it ?

    If that is how to do it should I get 3 small cans one red,green and blue to add to the paint?
    Or should I be getting extra tins of black and white?

    thanks.

    Best thing to do there in my opinion would be to pick a colour you think is as close as possible to the colour on the walls, and paint the whole wall that has the repaired work on in it. Painting one wall wont take that long. You'll never get an exact match mixing yourself.
