Spot Painting & Color Matching
DuPont’s and Sherwin Williams’ patented color matching systems allow our managers to determine what color your car was painted so we can come up with an exact formula for your car. This guarantees that you will get the best match possible at any of our locations.
Did you know that some paint formulas have alternate paint codes? That means if you’re paint color is sterling silver metallic there could be as many as five different formulas for that one color depending in which plant it was painted. Our color matching systems, Chromabase and AWX, help us get an edge up on body shops that don’t use these systems.
As you can see, spot painting is very sophisticated. In the 1960’s our painters used to match colors by eye and they used to do a pretty good job. Back then, spot painting was an art…today it’s an exact science.
