Automatic Color Matching for Car Paint Refinishing: The Future of Car Paint Repair

January 1, 2023
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the past, car paint refinishing was a complex and time-consuming process. It required highly experienced technicians to manually match the exact hue of existing car paint with that of new coats being applied. But today, this is no longer necessary. Thanks to advancements in technology, automatic color matching has become a reality for car paint refinishing.

Automatic color matching is an automated system used to scan, recognize and select the precise shades of car paint needed to achieve perfect results every time. With this technology, it’s now possible to quickly and accurately match any color without requiring manual input from a technician. This not only speeds up the entire process but also ensures superior quality results that meet or exceed even professional standards. This offers a tremendous benefit for collision repair businesses looking to save on labor costs and increase their efficiency. 

Using advanced scanning and recognition systems, automatic color matching can scan any car paint job and determine the exact shade. Once the match is determined, the necessary coats of paint are then applied with pinpoint accuracy. This process helps to ensure a perfect finish that lasts for years to come. Generally speaking, a quality job should last anywhere from five to ten years before any kind of fading or discoloration begins to show. With regular maintenance and proper care, many owners can expect their cars to stay looking brand new for much longer than that. 

Furthermore, this technology makes it easier to maintain original finishes on classic cars as well as new models. By quickly identifying the precise shades needed, refinishing work can be completed in record time without compromising on quality or aesthetic appeal. While some manual work may still need to be done when mixing pigments, it has been estimated that the use of automated systems can reduce overall labor costs by as much as 80%. In addition, it also eliminates guesswork from the equation – something that could lead to costly mistakes in manual processes.

Overall, automatic color matching has revolutionized car paint repair by making it faster, easier, and more accurate than ever before. With this technology, any car paint job can be completed in a fraction of the time with results that surpass even professional standards. They are also relatively affordable, often costing only a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars. It’s no wonder why it’s quickly becoming the future of car paint refinishing.

The advantages of using automatic color matching for car paint refinishing are clear: faster and more accurate results, improved quality and aesthetic appeal, less guesswork, and lower costs. With all these benefits combined, it’s no surprise that this technology is quickly becoming the go-to option for professionals and hobbyists alike.
