lacquer to match exsiting kitchen finish
Jan 21st, 2009, 2:15pm
 
hello all - I need help: I have made some kitchen doors frames in solid ash and need to match finish to a light grey colour of existing lacquered kitchen doors (that are not made anymore) - so that the grain shows through. I have found an approximate dulux match can I mix dulux paint with a lacqer to achieve same effect. Or how do I colour match to the existing colour - thank you in advance for all suggestions.

This is a difficult question to answer without seeing the door.

The door may have been stained down to the colour then a clear lacquer applied on top. Or it may have a coloured lacquer. Either way as far as I know you can not mix Dulux with lacquer, although a Dulux centre may well be able to mix a clear lacquer to the colour of your choice.
