Contact the local PPG paint rep.

I have NO IDEA on how skilled you are at painting and I am not going to start PAINTING 101 classes for you. There is SO MUCH to know and what to do and HOW...with some techniques..you can lighten this darker shade of paint you got...especially if it is a metallic. AND...just because you got the 'blender' does NOT mean that it will allow you to correct blend the color so you can not tell. IF the color is too far off...it needs to be tinted.

TRY 'Google'...enter PPG DBC 500 blender and then begin to read.
