Thanks for that. regards

Thanks for that. I assume the colour chips are the test match cards? The paint mix systems seems to have a programme that one you have choosen the paint from the list on the screen and the volume of paint required it just mixes it up. Does the painter have additional control over the different tinters /colours for the mix? is it just a case of it needs to be deeper so just add more red? excuse my ignorance. regards David

Hi All, Wonder if anyone can shed any light on this one. Had the bonnet of my Capri repaired last week and got it back to find it different. The car was restored and resprayed in 2008/9 with what i beleived to be Rosso red ( 1933 paint code ) which was what was used again but is clearly different. Its base coat and laquer. The same garage but different painter. we are unable to establish if the colour base coat was solvent or water based. Would this have made a difference? Had some test cards done and surprising Radiant red (2231 i think ) was about a 99% match? Any ideas would be help full.
