Need a perfect match for a restoration, a player edition, or a one-of-one colorway? We custom-mix your exact shade into KixKote’s pro-grade urethane paint—ready to apply for real sneaker work.
How Color Matching Works
Option 1: Match by Pantone
- Enter your Pantone code/chip reference during checkout
- Great for brand colors + team colors
Option 2: Mail-In Sample Match
- Mail a physical color sample
- Best for the closest real-world match
Turnaround clock starts after Pantone confirmation or sample receipt (whichever applies).
Perfect for Team Colors
Matching school, college, or pro team colors for customs, spirit wear, or player editions? We can match many team shades using Pantone references or a physical sample—ideal for consistent results across multiple pairs.
Quick tip: You can look up many team Pantone colors at trucolor.net and enter the Pantone code during checkout.
