Our paint is a conversion varnish (solvent based) finish that is not available to the general public. It is an industrial finish that must be sprayed using ventilators in a heated spray booth environment.

To get a close match to our product, your best option will be to take one of our painted doors to the local paint store. Have them match to this sample for color and sheen. We use a stain sheen, but they will want to verify with their own product/formula. They will then mix up a batch of latex or water based paint and primer that you can use on other areas of your cabinet project.

If you don’t want to have to paint on site, we do sell the adjustable shelves by themselves here in an exposed/painted material:

Comparing color-matched paints really comes down to how critical you are about the match. Personally, I’m extremely particular, which is why we strongly recommend that customers have their own sample color-matched—just in case there’s a slight variation in the paint batch. Every batch is mixed based on a formula, but there will always be small differences. These variations are usually minimal, but worth noting, as we cannot cover any costs related to mismatched colors on items painted by the customer on-site.

Each batch may differ slightly in tone, so it depends on how closely you’re inspecting the match between our factory-sprayed conversion varnish and what you’re spraying on-site. Conversion varnish has a unique texture and reflects light differently depending on the angle. When we launched our new paint line earlier this year, we went through four rounds of adjustments to fine-tune the color. In the paint booth it looked perfect, but under sunlight, we noticed subtle shifts in warmth, so we kept tweaking it until it was as close as possible—even though we were being admittedly overly picky.

We recently began using Sherwin-Williams Gallery paint for our Dover and Pure colors. This is a premium product designed for professional applications, such as flat-line or spray booth systems. It lays down beautifully and self-seals grain defects as it cures. While you can purchase it from your local Sherwin-Williams, it’s primarily intended for professional use.

I’ll attach the most recent color matches for reference. Keep in mind, they won’t be a perfect match to the conversion varnish finish used on BarkerCabinets.com—but they’re extremely close, and only the most discerning customers are likely to notice any difference.
