Why Paint Color Matching Matters
A repair that doesn't match is one everyone can see. Here's how a good match works.
Paint ages
A 5-year-old car's paint is no longer exactly the color on the factory code. Sun and weather shift it.
Computerized matching
We start from your paint code, then adjust the formula to the actual car.
Blending
Spraying slightly into neighboring panels lets the color transition invisibly. It's often what separates a good repair from an obvious one.
Clear coat
The clear coat carries the gloss and protection. It has to be applied evenly and cured properly to last.
