Color Mismatch

Also known as: Wrong color, off shade, mismatch fading, off color
Description:

The color of the repaired part differs from that originally on the object being painted.

ColorMatch

Origin and Potential Causes:
The appropriate formula or alternate was not used.Incorrect spray gun setup or PSI. The original finish has changed due to weathering or exposure. Incorrect application technique (especially applicable to metallics), too wet, too dry, poor hiding or coverage. The color was not well stirred. Variations of the OEM finish.
 

Prevention Techniques:
Check color for variations and use the right formula. Stir colors thoroughly. Polish adjacent panels to check the color. If necessary, follow the instructions of our color guide to match the old finish color. Use the spraying technique which better adapts to the required color matching. Spray a test panel for color verification. Blend the color into adjacent panel(s).
 

Remedy:
Sand and refinish after having chosen the right formula, tinted the existing formula and/or set up the repair for a blend.
