Computerised Colour Matching

Spectrophotometer-measured, camera-verified colour — so repairs disappear, even on aged metallics and pearls.

Paint codes tell you what colour a car was when it left the factory — not what colour it is now, after years of UV exposure. That's why cheap repairs so often show as a slightly-off panel in certain light.

We measure the actual colour of your car's paint with a spectrophotometer, formulate against a database of tens of thousands of variants, spray out test cards and verify the match against the vehicle before any colour touches a panel. Combined with proper blending technique, it's how our repairs simply disappear.

Every repair we do benefits from this — but it especially matters on aged colours, metallics, pearlescents, Porsche/Ferrari special orders and any car where "close" isn't good enough.

Our process

How we do it

Colour matching happens as part of any paint repair with us: measure, formulate, spray out, verify, then paint. You don't need to book it separately — it's simply how we work.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Can you match my faded paint? +
Yes — that's exactly what spectrophotometer matching is for. We match the paint as it is on your car today and blend into surrounding panels, so the repair is invisible even though the car has faded from its original code.
Can you match special or rare colours? +
Almost always. Manufacturer special orders, limited-run colours and tri-coats take more formulation work and spray-outs, but our system covers tens of thousands of variants — and we verify against your actual car before spraying.
How do I get an estimate? +
