Color matching…
September 2, 2007
Problems:
- 38 year old car in need of some touch-up paint…
- Auto-body shops in California can obviously mix paints but they won’t sell you a small bottle of touch-up paint… (some mumbo-jumbo about environmental laws and paints…)
Solution: (after a bit of leg work and connecting the dots)
San Leandro Color located in you guessed it, San Leandro will mix up a batch of paint for you…
All you need to do is:
- Show up with the car
- Figure out how much paint you need
- Pick: bottle or a spray can
- Give them 15 minutes to make it happen
They use a hand-held spectrometer (Prophet II by PPG) to determine the color and then get to work mixing it for you…. Neat!
