mike babe! you need to go to a good body shop suply house and ask them to
use "the color match camera" to do a spectral reading of the color of your
car. it looks like a big old polaroid camera. if your car isnot running
they need a "flat piece" of the car to read the color (like a hood ,trunk
lid , door) . the camera can not read a small piece like a scrap cut off a
rocker or cowel if you are in the process of doing some serious repairs. i
just took a complete door off the abarth 850tc to the shop to match the
white that was used over 15 years ago. you can be helpfull to the paint
shop employee if you polish about a square foot of the surface for the
camera to "look" at. it can not "read " the original color through faded
paint or acid rain stains or dirt. the cleaner the spot you present the
camera to read the closer the match it will provide. now! as in all paint
, the mixer(human error factor) can slightly fudge a custom mixed color, and
in spite of proper stirring or agitation, twenty samples of paint from the
same gallon of paint can all look slightly diffrent. but this method is
the best way to get a match in the automotive refinishing industry today
just short of having a body shop who posess"s it's own in house custom
mixing system. and some really large suply houses have acess to a facility
to package custom mixed colors in spray cans too! you have to ask the auto
body suply house in your town if they have this service available or not, it
does exist! oh yeah most color match camera's give a match in acrylic
enamel, it is rare but happens that the camera's response to the reading of
a specific color can be translated into a laquer formula, and let's not get
into a base coat/ clear coat discussion here ok?... :)
chuck
of the larger variety! just ask my sprite's spreen's offset rear springs!
lol!
