I've been most satisfied when patching; e.g. kitchen tiles, when I used a
contrasting color. A slightly mis-matched area, which gets worse as the two
areas age at different rates, makes it obvious that it's a patch job. A
contrasting area, even if in poor taste, is deliberate.

I know what you are saying. This is hard to match the color exactly.
But something close to the surrounding color should be good enough for
coloring the epoxy -- close enough color that the scratches on the
paint will not become a constant eyesore.

Thanks for the tip. This should help hiding any scratch in the painted
non-skid surface until I get around to repaint the area. Now, I just
need to re-read WEST SYSTEM books to see if we can mix color into their
epoxy.

They won't teach you how to match the colour accurately.
