Ask us a question

How do you match the paint so well?

We use your car’s paint code and computer colour matching, spray test cards to compare, then blend the new paint into the panels around the repair.

Can you match faded paint?

Yes. Paint codes give the original colour, so we adjust the mix and blend into nearby panels to match how your paint looks today.

Do you match metallic and pearl colours?

Yes. Metallic and pearl finishes need careful spraying and blending, and we check them in daylight before handover.

Why do some repairs look a different colour?

Usually because the panel was painted to the code without allowing for fading, or wasn’t blended. Matching and blending stops a panel standing out.

Is colour matching included in my repair?

Yes. Colour matching and blending are part of every paint repair we quote, whether you’re claiming or paying privately.
