Abstract
A kit and method for testing the color of paints to be applied to painted surfaces having primers or sealers thereon to determine if a paint color matches that of a painted surface. Preferably, the kit comprises a plurality of testing members removably mounted therein or thereon. The testing members have different primers or sealers thereon corresponding to those on different known painted surfaces. When a paint is to be applied to an area of a specific painted surface, the paint is first applied to one of the testing members having thereon the same primer or sealer as that on the painted surface. The painted testing member then is moved to a position adjacent the painted surface to compare the color of the paint on the testing member to that of the painted surface.
