Heywood Wakefield Colors

[jafo]

Does anyone have a source for the colors of Heywood Wakefield?  Wheat, Champagne, Platinum?  Kwick Kleen had colors/toners you could spray that were close... But I haven't been able to find anything like it.... There is some guy selling stain and brush able toners....but a lot of work with his products...  I have a bedroom set coming up that is Wheat color and I need to color match it again....Any help would be appreciated....

Well, before Dave came up with those I use to make my own.  I would use Mohawk's Bleachtone and some universal tint colorants. Back then I would take some pictures of the pieces when they came in and also try to hold back a piece of something so I could make a whole gallon of whatever color I was working with......  I too am finishing up with Dave's stuff as well now, just haven't had any of this furniture in lately.  I like Hood's UTC colors for this kind of tinting.

thanks Darrel,   are you adding colorants to the bleachtone directly? 

may be time to start making my own formula....being that the mid century is coming back in style...
