Custom Automotive Paint Matching

Skip standard paint touch-ups that don't match. We utilize computerized spectrophotometers and professional paint systems to mix exact factory colors, touch-up kits, and custom aerosol spray cans for DIYers and restorers.

Database Verification

Check Factory Paint Codes

Enter your vehicle's factory paint code or brand name (e.g. LY7C, GM 300, Ford Shadow Black) to check formulation availability in our mixing database.

Spectrophotometer Scanning

Precision Computerized Color Matching

Automotive paint changes over time. Sun, acid rain, road salt, and UV light alter the chemical pigments of your car's exterior basecoat. While standard paint codes provide a starting point, they do not account for natural fading.

Our local distribution channels utilize advanced spectrophotometer scanners. By bringing in a physical sample (like your vehicle's fuel door or tow eye cover), we scan the pigments under multi-spectrum lighting.

Our software calculates the exact tint offsets, allowing our mixing specialists to add micro-drops of toner to match your vehicle's current state perfectly. We can formulate these custom tones into aerosols, bottles, or spray gun sizes.

How to Find Your Paint Code

01

Check Driver Door Jamb

Open the driver door and check the compliance label. It is often labeled as C/TR (Color/Trim), Paint, PNT, or EXT.

02

Inspect the Firewall

For domestic brands (Ford/GM), check the sticker or metal tag attached to the firewall at the back of the engine bay.

03

Glovebox or Spare Tire

Many imports (Honda, Toyota, Audi) place the code inside the glove box, console compartment, or under the trunk floor mat next to the spare tire.

04

Spectrophotometer Scan

If you cannot locate the code or the vehicle has been repainted, bring a paint sample (like a tow plug cover) to our mix lab for scanning.
