The use of test panels gives us a trial run as to what the finished product will look like when we apply the paint to your vehicle. The color variance chip could look a certain way but with changing paint toners and technologies we can see slight variances which can affect finish product. The use of "test panels" is also an important step in the color matching process. We need to ensure the color we make is the closest possible shade and we take every extra step and precaution of doing so.
Color match auto paint code#
We never just take the paint code assigned to your car, mix the paint, then spray. We also use "color tinting" and "blending" techniques to ensure the best possible match for your car.

So we know no two colors are the same in many instances and have developed technologies to remedy for that. The same color of your car has up to 50 variances and can turn out different based on which factory it was painted in, the air conditions, temperature and humidity, even where the car stands in the production line. We utilize "camera shot technology" with our paint camera which is a cutting edge innovative tool that grabs images of the paint on your exact car and generates the exact mixing ratio for your color. We also have access to both manufacturers worldwide databases so when we pull a color code we are able to view which exact chip has been used the most on a global scale Every paint has variances and different color tones and with the use of our applied techniques and deep industry knowledge we're able to achieve color matches that are considered the best in San Diego and across the industry.īetween our two paint lines, BASF, Glasurit and PPG Envirobase, we have compiled our own personal color chip library based on all the colors we have sprayed in house.
