Computerized color matching so repaired or replaced panels blend seamlessly with the rest of your vehicle.
A repair can be structurally perfect and still look wrong if the paint doesn't match. Factory paint fades and shifts slightly over time with UV exposure, which means matching a brand-new can of factory-spec paint to a car that's a few years old often isn't a perfect match on its own — the color has to be adjusted for that car specifically.
We use computerized color matching to identify your vehicle's original formula, then fine-tune it against the actual condition of your paint before it goes in the booth. It's a step that makes the difference between a repair that's invisible and one you can spot from across the parking lot.
Matching your vehicle's original paint code and formula.
Adjusting the match for sun fading and age-related color shift.
Blending new paint into adjacent panels for a seamless transition.
Matching complex multi-stage, pearl and metallic finishes.
Verifying color match on a test panel before committing to the full repair.
Matching aftermarket or custom colors for modified and restored vehicles.
We start by identifying your vehicle's factory paint code, then compare it against the actual paint on the car, since sun exposure and age can shift the color from the original spec. Adjustments are made to the formula before we commit to spraying the repaired panel.
For repairs on a single panel, we blend the new paint into the adjacent panels rather than stopping at a hard edge, which is what makes a color-matched repair disappear into the rest of the vehicle instead of standing out.
Yes, we use computerized color matching to identify your factory formula and adjust it to account for fading and age, so the repaired panel matches the rest of your vehicle.
It's a process that identifies your vehicle's exact factory paint formula using your paint code and, where needed, a physical color read from the vehicle, so we can mix a precise match rather than guessing from a general color chart.
Paint can look slightly different immediately after application before it fully cures. We factor curing time into the process and check the match again once the paint has fully cured.
