IndyCindy Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I started constructing my dollhouse about ten years ago, but I didn't finish. I've recently started working on it again. It was (mostly) painted, but I'm constructing the dormers and my 10 year old paint has separated and looks like it's no longer usable. I tried to find an online retailer for what I originally used - Painter's Palette brand in RGT blue. Any one know if they still manufacture this color, and if they do, of an online retailer from which I can order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 You can usually get a color match done at any paint retailer. You need a sample about the size of a quarter, sometimes smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid-life madness Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Try mixing the paint up, and see what happens. If you can get a good sample, you can have it made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miniaddicted Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 If you don't have a number, perhaps you could email RGT and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the leads - I'll continue to pursue this. Worse case scenario, I'll paint the dormers an accent color and pretend it was intentional.

PP21832 I e-mailed Handley House and they confirmed that the color had been discontinued quite a while ago. I inquired if they had a sample or swatch available for me to purchase so I could at least have it matched at a paint store. They never responded to my last e-mail.
