VinceM: Can tell you have been there and done it too, no wise guy stuff taken. Believe me, I know all about the dime a dozen painters, after all, "anybody can paint", and "heck, you could teach a [bleep] to paint", sure you've heard it all too. When times get tough, a couple of paint brushes are cheaper than going to plumbers school, enuf said. The SW store I do business with always puts a dab of what I asked them to mix for me right on the swatch I take in so I can see the comparison, they are almost always spot on. This whole deal just sounds like an "in and out" painter to me, hope it works out for the OP.
