Hey! Mexican DU'ers!

I want to paint my kitchen GOLD.

Something similar to this would be terrific. I just can't find that paint color. Where do you get it?

American paint stores fail to bring it. x(

1. You can get it mixed for you. This is

a lot like a kitchen color I had a long time ago. It looks like this is a gold or tangerine painted over yellow and mayben some red (outlining the raised panel.

2. Take a sample to any paint store (even Home Despot or Lowe's)

They can custom match any color you like.

3. I'm in New Jersey, not in Mexico, but I painted my kitchen

almost that color a couple of years ago (I was going for a Frida Kahlo look). The paint was General Coatings Regency - Acrylic Latex Semi-Gloss number 253A. I don't know if that paint is around any more (I googled and couldn't find it) but I remember that my hardware store mixed it for me.

Check this site out though (I have no affiliation with Behr). "Goldfish" might work.

Good luck!

5. Lead Chromate Yellow.

The real stuff has the most vivid color, but you don't want it in your kitchen even if you could purchase it here...

Try China!

You can purchase an entire shipping container full of it, enough to poison an entire Metropolis!

11. Couldn't hurt to add some chromium, I guess...

I imagine the world I was born into -- lead paint on everything, lead in gasoline, God-Only-Knows-What in the fish my dad caught for supper in Santa Monica bay -- and it's a wonder I survived childhood.

7. I have to say

earler today I was wondering how the border patrol would feel if I came back with 10 gallons of yellow paint. :P

9. They'd feel like you were trying to hide a smell from the drug dogs, more than likely.

10. You know,

GMTA.

Having a yellow kitchen would be cool, but not cool enough to undergo a cavity search. :P

13. Depends on who was doing the search. What if it were someone you were really fond of?

Just a thought that crossed my mind (lessness).

14. Based on the border guards I have seen

1/10 of them are hot, and the hot ones work the backcountry. ;)

12. That's a really great combination of colors.

I'd love to have a kitchen in all of those shades for these dreary rainy season days.

15. We've got the blues and the red all picked out

The yellow is elusive.

16. OK, you can get paint in tiny little containers now to 'sample' the color on your

walls before you buy the full container.

I agree, you can go to a good paint store and have it mixed custom for you
I had a bathroom that was painted a dark green enamel and the paint chipped off the walls when the landlord had a new vanity put in the bath. I took a small piece of that paint into Home Depot and they made me a perfectly matched pint of paint and we fixed up the damage quite nicely.
