My friend Chris owns a top end restoration shop. He has a something like a $4,000 camera to color match paint. Even with that, and computerized mixing, there is no such thing as an exact match. This has to do with the brand of paint, whether it is a using current formulation materials compared to what is on the car, and how it is sprayed, and how it is buffed out. He can get damn close, whether its a half million dollar Porsche, or a repair job on a 5 year old Nissan truck. But there is never, ever, such a thing as an exact match.


I understand that getting an exact match is near impossible, but was hoping to get a very close match. Just thought maybe I'd get lucky and have a color code or something to work with.
