Hi there. I've got normal tempura-type paint and I need a color-matched high-temp ceramic paint...Can Home Depot do this? And at what cost?!

p.s. This is for my roommate's environmental design project...

I remember that they have a machine that approximates the paint...and then they mix it...I used to do this down at Wal-Mart in the hardware department...you have to take a couple of measures though so it can average them together :)

Yeah...I know they can do it for housepaint...but high-temp paint is a different department altogether ;(

"I can't go to the nearest Home Depot and ask them because..."

a) I'm too lazy
b) I never thought about that
c) I don't know where the nearest Home Depot is
d) I broke my leg
e) the outside world frightens me

Please, pick and choose the correct answer.

I choose (f) ...she asked me around 11pm and most Home Depot's close around 9. The availability of high-temp, color-matched paint might have made her postpone painting until she could get it, if she knew for certain that it was possible to get some.

they DO have 24 Home Depots, just not sure of your availability :)

FWIW, i dunno about the high temp stuff. Ask a car shop.
