More Than a Paint Code: How Collision Repair Shops Match Your Vehicle’s Color

After a collision or body repair, getting the paint color right is an important part of restoring your vehicle. While the factory paint code provides a starting point, factors like age, sun exposure, previous repairs and the type of finish can all affect how the color looks today. Professional color matching involves more than choosing a paint code.

Several factors can help create a seamless finish:

• Factory paint code
• Digital color matching
• Metallic and pearl finishes
• Blending
