TIPS AND TRICKS FOR COLOR MATCH

[@stevec5657]

Perfect timing, I'm having trouble color matching a replacement center cap for a factory painted wheel. The shade of silver I guessed would work is too light, even after adding black, so I'm going to try your idea for a black base. Thanks Mario!

Hi Mario, some very useful info there for those that are having issues getting a good colour match, it's surprising the difference it makes using a different colour primer/sealer or ground coat to the colour of your basecoat, with all the testing I do with different colours along with the colour of your substrate it can make a big difference to your final colour🤔 One that comes to mind is the AMG Green Hell Magno where the final colour can go from a dark to a light green just by using a black or white sealer👌🙏👍John UK

I'm sure you will sort it mate, you wouldn't want me to do any colour matching for you seeing as I'm partially colour blind🤭🤦‍♂😂
