Behind the finish
The process & tools we use
A perfect color match isn't luck — it's a process. If you know paint, you'll recognize the equipment: we run Refinity color software with Glasurit® and R-M® paint end to end, from digital color scan to the final polish. Here's exactly what happens to your car in our paint shop.
-
1. Digital color scan
Factory color drifts with age and sun, so we never guess from a paint code. A spectrophotometer reads the exact color on your car — five precise measurements in about 30 seconds.
-
2. Computer color match
The scan is matched in Refinity®, BASF's cloud color software, against the industry's largest color database — down to the effect particles in metallic and pearl finishes.
-
3. Mixed to the gram
That formula is mixed on calibrated scales with Glasurit® and R-M® toners — the same premium paint systems the automakers themselves approve.
-
4. Sprayed in a sealed booth
Solvent-based basecoat and high-solids clearcoat go on in our temperature-controlled spray booth, blended into the surrounding panels so the repair disappears.
-
5. Cured, polished & inspected
The finish is cured, cut and polished, then checked against the neighboring panels in daylight before you ever see the car.
