AG Body Shop can assess the existing vehicle finish and select an appropriate colour-matching and refinishing approach for suitable repairs. The manufacturer paint code is an important starting point, but professional colour matching involves more than simply ordering paint by code.
A vehicle colour can have recognised production variants, and previous repairs may mean that one or more surrounding panels no longer match the original factory formula exactly. Age, finish type and differences between plastic and metal components can also influence how the colour appears.
The current vehicle therefore provides the visual reference for the repair. Depending on the colour and panel relationship, a controlled blend into a suitable adjoining area may be used to create a more consistent transition.
No responsible body shop should promise that a colour decision can be made solely from a registration number or photograph. The actual finish and the repair area matter.
Our Paint & Colour Matching service explains the refinishing process in more detail. For a deeper technical explanation, read Why Professional Paint Matching Matters.
Send photographs of the damaged area and the surrounding panels through our vehicle assessment form, and mention any known previous paintwork in the same area.
