The paint distributors can mix up a small amount of your custom color based on photo spectrum gun findings. Normally this can be done not just for cars but also for motorcycles, RV’s, boats, ATV’s, Scooters, Airplanes etc. They then run this through their formulation database to determine a close color match. If you can’t find a good match in the color chip books, then ask them if they have a photo spectrum gun that they can use to take a picture of the vehicles panel. If you can identify a good color match by visually comparing the chips in these booklets to your vehicle’s color, then all we would need is the color code for the chip that you feel best matches your car and we can formulate the paint using this color code information. Try visiting a PPG, DuPont, Sherwin Williams or BASF paint distributor to review their color chip books.Īll of these companies maintain an inventory of color chip books that they will allow you to look through.

We do, however, strongly recommend you try and get us a paint sample if possible. While we can’t guarantee a color match without a sample, if you have the code, we can mix the paint according to the Factory paint formulation. If on these older cars if we have a color sample that you can provide that is a good match, we have the tools in place to create the color to match the swatch. ![]() Even on colors prior to the early 90’s, our formulation database dates to the early 1930’s and we do have formulations on many of these older that in most cases allow us to make the color without a backup color swatch to test the color once made. The color swatches allow us to make the paint and then test it against the swatch to ensure it is a good match. We maintain a vast collection of paint swatches that allow us to make cars dating back to the early 90’s.
