I know this subject has been discussed many times before but wanted to post my success...
Anyway I've been wanting to get some touch up paint for my car and NAPA has a paint only store here in Columbus, all they sell is paint and related supplies. In order for them to do a perfect match they needed the car for a few days to work on it. Really did not want to leave the car so I decided to take off a door and leave that, it has all the colors I need. They do the match totally by eye and paint color chips, the manager of the store calls the scanner a $7,000 paper weight!!!!
A friend had one of the hinge removal tools that kind of looks like a C clamp, would not budge the pins. I really didn't want to drill them out so I decided to order one of the tools that Snyder's has...

Got it the next day and it took about 10 minutes to get all three hinges out, with absolutely no damage to the pins, not even the paint on top.
So the door is at NAPA, looking forward to seeing how well they match it up, the store manager said it will be PERFECT, we shall see.
