Auto Paint and Colour

Vehicle colour affects appearance, maintenance and repair matching.

Key points

✓ Identify the factory paint code rather than relying on a colour name.

✓ Metallic, pearl and aged finishes may require blending adjacent panels for an acceptable match.

✓ Inspect repairs under several lighting conditions and check texture, edges and overspray.

✓ Protect paint with gentle washing and prompt removal of contaminants.
