Almost every vehicle color can be matched by utilizing technology and craftsmanship. Dorn’s employs highly skilled refinish professionals who are factory trained using state-of-the-art equipment to assure colors are matched to manufacturer’s standards. Dorn’s uses the following steps to ensure your satisfaction with the color match. 1. Your vehicle has an information label that includes a paint code. This code identifies the color of your car. 2. Our computerized paint-mixing system includes the standard color for your car and known variants. The database of known variants is important because in the vehicle manufacturing process there is some variability (such variations typically occur between paint lots or between factories). We check for the best match among these base colors and their variants. 3. A perfect match usually cannot be obtained by tinting alone. 4. Blending is used to transition the freshly painted finish into the original. Between tinting and blending, the color match area becomes completely invisible. (Some carriers do not pay for this service.)
