This was a shock.
Ive been using SEM Euro Black Trim Paint in an aerosol for painting small parts like nuts and bolts. I found it to be a close match to Hot Rod black. I went to buy another can the other day and I found out it was discontinued. When I called the tech support line to find out if anything took its place I told the guy that I told a lot of people about their free color matching service. He went on to tell me that the woman that did it wasnt with the company anymore. Needless to say I was surprised.
Turns out SEM was bought out by PPG. They no longer do color matching in house and Anne's position was eliminated. I was also told not many customers are happy with that decision.
Another small business gobbled up by an empire. I wonder how long SEM will remain a quality product.

This is tough. I just purchased a nice claret kick panel on ebay so I could send to get color matched🤬🤬. The burgundy for SEM just isn't close at all. Back to drawing board.

Rather make my own judgement and $34 for a crapshoot isn't for me. I heard the SEM burgundy was a close match too but that only cost me $13 to find out it wasn't.
I've used the SEM burgundy and it was a good match to the door panels, etc. I wasn't disappointed.
