Our paint department keeps records of your paint colors by putting a dot of the actual paint on index cards, labeling them with a product formula, and filing them under you or your painter’s name. When you purchase again, we put another “dot” on the index card next to the last one to ensure that the new paint matches before it leaves the store. These cards are held until we are told to throw them away by the client, or we deem them no longer useful. Some of our paint dot cards go back to the early 90’s.
