If a scratch appears on the car for some reason, the owner will have to restore the original appearance of the car, and for this you need to know exactly what kind of paint is needed. Each shade is assigned a specific number. How to define it?
Instructions
Step 1
If you purchased a brand new car from an authorized dealer, a piece of paint number should be affixed to the inside of the trunk or on the door. For example, the snow queen, color 690. Also, the exact color must be indicated on the registration certificate for the car and in the warranty card. However, the problem is that these data may differ: for example, on the leaflet the color is the snow queen, and in the certificate it is silver metallic.
Step 2
There are car paint plans that include paint numbers and showcase all shades of cars being produced in a given month. For example, the LADA painting plan is presented here: https://avtosreda.ru/colorplans/2011-09.html, and the full color gamut of all possible shades can be found on this page: https://avtosreda.ru/prices-colors.html. Compare these colors with your car and choose the number you want. This classification is universal for all firms, however, for some foreign cars, for example, Chevrolet, codes consisting of three Latin letters are used. You can find out the exact color designation on the official website
Step 3
If you find it difficult to choose a color or do not trust the color rendering of the monitor, remove the fuel filler flap from the car and contact a car service, the catalog staff will determine the paint number suitable for your car. This must be done because one and the same color, for example, green, has dozens of different shades, and it will be simply impossible to choose the desired color by eye.
Step 4
Please note that if the car has been in the sun for a long time, the paint will fade, so to fix the scratch, you will have to paint the entire damaged part, for example, the entire trunk. If the color transition is very noticeable, you will most likely have to paint the entire car.
