Reliable paint matching
Im in need of some spray paint to do my belly pan and would like to know if anyone is able to recommend a paint supplier that they've actually used where the paint match is good.
I took a punt on this kit off ebay Unfortuatley the colour was more of a burgundy than a candy red hence the kit is going back for a refund. Dont expect it to be an exact match but somewhere close at least would be nice. Any other suggestions? |

Re: Reliable paint matching
The lad had a Fiesta where on a wing respray, the body shop used a gold base coat instead of silver, in certain light conditions it stuck out a mile.
Tried these once and it was a good match then https://www.paints4u.com/ Had a wing resprayed on our Silver car - great match new but noticeably different 12 years later. If I understood my next door neighbour correctly a good body shop can use a spectrometer to analyse the correct mix of paint and then load a can for you. Ex body shop owner |

Re: Reliable paint matching
I've used RS paints many years ago.
