It takes an experienced auto body technician to understand the science of color. They don’t just take a spray paint can off the shelf and hope for the best. They use modern day auto body color match technology. It begins with determining what is the exact color of the vehicle. Once that has been determined, it will need to be matched up with an existing color, or if not available, recreated or mixed to be the exact match.
