Color Mismatch

* An example of this type of paint challenge, but not necessarily the only representation.
PAINT ISSUE:
car paint doesn't match -OR- paint blend looks different -OR- why is my new paint a different color
PREVENTION:
- Always spray out and clearcoat basecoats for evaluation.
- Blend into adjacent panels.
- Check alternate color selector for variances.
- Follow product label for spray gun, nozzle, and air cap.
- Mix paint thoroughly.
- Spray a test card and compare in daylight before spraying.
- Stir/shake materials thoroughly to ensure all pigments and metallics are in solution.
- Use natural daylight or color-corrected lights for matching.
- View all colors under equal gloss.
TO REPAIR:
- Blend color into adjacent panels if close enough, or tint and respray if necessary.
- Sand/blend color into adjacent panels, or respray for better match.
