Various paint manufacturers designate their own stock numbers and coding information
although many of the major suppliers are now using the SOA paint codes to help eliminate
possible confusion. Their color formulations are updated on a continual basis. Some vendors may have
different color names than those provided to them by SOA. Be sure to double-check the codes and
formulas beforehand to help insure an accurate color match. Should discrepancies arise, please refer
