Color Matching Checklist

Use this as a conversation and preparation aid. The selected coating system’s current technical and safety information controls exact steps.

  • Bring code, VIN if useful and labels.
  • Bring a fuel door, mirror, removable panel or clean chip.
  • Describe age, fading, repairs and area to blend.
  • Note lighting and where the color will be judged.
  • Request a spray-out when the color is sensitive.
  • Compare sample and substrate, not only a screen.
  • Record formula and system details for future work.
