Daly's Custom Stain Match
At Daly’s we are known for our stain matching skills. In Seattle, Paule is our color guru. She can make a beautiful color from just about anything.
Here the inspiration is from a Pratt & Lambert paint chip. The customer is going to be staining some outdoor Adirondack chairs. As you can see, these chairs are going to be statement pieces!
Nicely done, Paule!
If you need a custom stain color, Daly’s offers this custom service for $20, plus the cost of stain.
Here’s the Process:
We need a sample of what you are matching, plus a sample of wood that will be used in the project (Mother Nature, in her infinite wisdom, has created each species of wood to accept stain differently, so we need an actual piece of wood for color accuracy)
Oftentimes a coat of Daly’s Benite needs to be applied at least 24 hours before the scheduled match. Benite helps to let the stain absorb evenly in porous wood. Check with us to determine if this is needed. It can also be done here at the shop, but we must allow for the 24 hour drying period.
Turnaround ranges anywhere from a couple of days to a week. The match schedule is maintianed as a first come, first served service – so please allow yourself enough time when planning your project.
If you ever have any questions, give us a call! In Seattle (206) 633-4200 and Bellevue (425) 454-3093.
