After an accident, an experienced collision repair shop can fix your damaged vehicle, pulling out dings and dents, as well as making the paint match perfectly. To an untrained eye, you won't be able to spot the difference—but how do they do this? Body shops have the ability to expertly match a car’s paint color with a combination of exact science and quite a bit of art and experience.

Every make and model of car has their colors cataloged in a computerized database, which records exactly which paint color is used on every car and truck. This database also includes information like paint manufacturer and batch shade, which are minute details that can affect the end result. Once a collision repair expert matches the shade, they can seamlessly restore your vehicle to its original condition, repairing everything from small paint chips to severe damage. Advancing technology and developing techniques make getting an accurate match increasingly fast and easy.

In many cases, matching the original paint color is not enough. Other factors, like the temperature, air pressure, the exact composition of the material, and the humidity level, can affect the final paint job. Matching the minor aspects produced by these variations requires the highly experienced eye of a collision repair professional. They select the right products and carefully blend the colors in with the existing surfaces. With dedication, patience, and advanced technology, your car paint expert can make even extensive damage disappear without a trace.
