This is all interesting... I would now guess that matching my Dark Blue Denim would be even TOUGHER than black, if need be...
As for inconsistencies, I'm told that is expected anyway, and that the 'denim' is supposed to be like a pair of blue jeans, getting 'wear' in certain spots, causing variations in the sheen. Best of luck to the OP.

It may be far from you, but try Spade Brothers in Orange County, CA.

They do it. They are great.

That makes no sense at all. How many have you asked and what is their reason?

We paint and match denim colors daily and ship worldwide. If you send us a part to match the color to, we guarantee excellent color match in writing. I guess there is power in a single word; HOW. Our guys at Colormania know how, that is why we keep busy and keep winning shows.

Please send an email to Joe@colormaniapaint.com to request an estimate, we don't charge any more to paint Denim than other glossy colors.

It all depends on the flash time of the coats of clear and the clear that you use.
