If, as a result of unsuccessful parking or a minor accident, it becomes necessary to paint individual elements of the car, for this you will need to choose the color of the car enamel that strictly matches the main one. High-quality staining means that the new part will in no way stand out from the general background. To achieve a flawless result, it is necessary to accurately determine the color code of the car.
Instructions
Step 1
At the factory, when each car is produced, a specific number code is assigned to its paint, which contains information on the quantitative and weight ratio of the components that make up the car enamel. Therefore, to begin with, use the easiest way to determine the color code of the car. Find the plate attached to the body. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to find it, since in some vehicle modifications it is located in hard-to-reach places or none at all.
Step 2
If there is no such sign under the hood, or in the doorway, or elsewhere, then go to https://www.paintscratch.com. So you can determine the color by the code (or vice versa). But this method can also turn out to be ineffective, since often the color cannot be determined due to the fact that the marking does not converge. This is due to the devices that interfere with the paint with a certain margin of error, which introduces confusion in the markings.
Step 3
It happens that manufacturers give abstract names to car colors, for which it is generally difficult to determine what is the official color of your car. For example, "Mozart" or "Prize" are names that are absolutely not related to any color scheme. In this case, use the special catalog with the decoding of the values https://www.autocoms.ru/help/58.
Step 4
If your car was purchased from an authorized dealer and has never been repainted before, just ask the seller (car dealership) for the necessary information. You can find out the color code by VIN
Step 5
There is also a good and effective way, albeit a rather laborious one. Go to the website https://autos.msn.com, where enter the make and year of your car. Browse all the colors that your year's cars were painted in. Choose the most similar one and write down its code. Next, find a website on the Internet where you will determine the type of car in the selected color. This happens when you hover the mouse over the preview, which automatically launches a script that shows the brand of your car in various colors and angles. This method is used by most of the paint shops at the service station.
