Hot House Green colour matching

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

One of my clients came to me after having just purchased this car.

The previous owner had bought it 2nd hand from a franchised car yard – meaning high quality cars selling new Holden’s (GM), and one of the conditions of sale was that a small scrape be repaired.

Well it was repaired but what do you think of the colour match? Very good or very poor?

The latter is true. In my upcoming digital book “How to paint a car” I show you the whole process including this very chippy bar close up. Now why was it chippy??? – because not only did this guy use cheap crap paint, he couldn’t match a colour to save his life!!

Plus I will post a video here shortly showing you the repaired result and how I matched the colour, because the original repairer didn’t have a clue!!
