matching finishes

[Gene Miller]

I have a kraftmaid cabinet in my bathroom that is birch with a chocolate glaze. I plan on adding a shoe rack and would like to match the finish. If I could match it exactly I would like to add a drawer to the cabinet that sits on the sink. The shoe rack will be in the closet so close is good but the drawer would have to match exactly. I haven't trying calling Kraftmaid but I'm pretty sure they won't give up the answer. I did call and ask for a drawer front awhile back and they said no, I would have to buy a cabinet.Any ideas on how to match the color would be appreciated. I have done some samples but I don't seem to have the knack. Thanks

I would go to your local paint store w/ a drawer or door and have them match it. I doubt you will get a exact match unless you get lucky. You can also get a bunch of samples and do some mixing and matching. Most will not notice if it is off a little.

Thats a good idea AL, I wish I had thought of that.

Get some of the transtint dyes and tweak the finish you are using. It will take some trial and error, but you should be able to get pretty close!
