Computer paint matching
Auto
manufacturers apply paint to the bare shell of the
vehicle in ovens where the temperatures exceed 400-degrees
Farenheit. This is because the auto manufacturers
paint the car before any of the wiring, electronics,
hardware, or interiors are assembled into the vehicle.
In the collision repair business, the paint can
only be dried at temperatures up to 180-degrees—any
hotter and damage will be done to the car's mechanical,
electrical, and interior systems. In addition, all
auto manufacturers use an electrolitically applied
"E-coat" primer that is applied to the
bare vehicle unibody or sheet metal—this is
an immersion process in a liquid, electrically charged
solution that is impossible to duplicate in the
repair industry.
Finally,
the colors used by auto manufacturers may vary widely
on the same models painted with the same color.
Variations in shading and coloring depend on if
your car was painted at the front end or tail end
of an assembly line run of paint. Most new cars
today are also painted with "two coat"
or "tri-coat" paint processes—where
mica, pearl, and metallic materials are applied
sequentially in the factory finish. These finishes
often vary in appearance based on the angle from
which they are viewed. For example, a green metallic
paint can appear "teal-colored" when looking
at a straight or flat surface such as a hood, but
nearly "black" when looking at a rounded
surface such as a fender.
All
of these factors make paint mixing, tinting, and
blending in the collision repair process even more
critical. To properly repair a minor dent of several
square inches, an entire panel may need to painted
and the adjacent panels may need to be blended in
order to achieve a precise color match. At City
Auto Body Centers, we use computer-controlled sensing
devices that provide the refinish technician with
a precise formula to match the paint color on a
vehicle.
