Have a question

[Brneyedgrl80]

Gosh, I hate posting so many things at once, but I have a question that I thought you guys could help me with.

My Sunbeam Mixmaster turn table is badly chipped and needs to get repainted.

Does anyone know where I can send it to get repainted? And could they match up the paint color?

I already tried decodan.com, but he is way backed up on work and said that he doesn't match colors because it is too difficult.

I would love to get it looking new again, but if it has to stay chipped, well, then it has to stay chipped.

Thanks in advance!

If you haven't seen this site, you may want to try posting there as well. Doesn't hurt to have more information. And possible there may be some local places that could help with the repaint. It's a fun site and gives some interesting information on Phoenix's 1950's neighborhoods.

I'm originally from Phoenix, and I get to go there next week to visit my sisters that still live there.

I can't remember where but I'm sure I saw paint stores that will computer color match spray paints for you, just like they do regular wall paints if you take in a sample.

Or-

try an auto paint supply store. They can custom match a solid color like the turquois easily. I know because I used to do this. Plus I have sold aerosol sprayers like a spray paint can that you could use to apply it. Mine was chipped badly and I found a Krylon pink that came clost to matching and while the pink was still wet I dusted it with almond paint to give it the slightly faded look like the rest of the mixer. Not perfect but more like me!

Those are great ideas! I'll have to try the auto places and see what they can do for me.
