Will the Paint Match After a Body Shop Repair?

Why paint is hard to match

A car's color slowly fades in the sun, so the color on your car is no longer exactly the factory formula. Pearl and multi-layer colors are harder still, because they change with the angle of the light.

Blending

A good painter does not stop paint at the edge of the repair. The new paint is blended into the panels beside it so the eye does not find a line.

Questions to ask any shop

Ask the shop:

  • How do you match the color on my car?
  • Will you blend into the next panel?
  • What does the paint warranty cover?

See our auto painting page.
