SERVICE 03 · PAINT & REFINISHING
Computer-matched color in a downdraft spray booth.
THE WORK
Matching automotive paint is not a matter of reading the code off the door jamb. Two cars off the same line can differ, and years of Capital Region sun and road salt move the color further. We start from the paint code, then verify the mix against your actual finish and blend into the adjacent panels so the repair disappears instead of announcing itself in daylight.
Spraying happens in a downdraft booth, which pulls airborne dust down and away from the wet surface — the difference between a finish that looks factory and one flecked with debris. Panels are properly prepped and primed, color and clear are cured, then cut and polished to match the texture of the paint around them.
Cheap paint work tends to fail the same way: orange-peel texture, edges that lift, and clear coat that clouds after a couple of winters. Doing the prep properly is most of why our refinish work carries a workmanship warranty for as long as you own the vehicle.
