Automotive Paint Online Color Charts

Post by WICKED »

Looking for Online color chart's for Automotive paint.
Were should I look?

Looked at a few sites and can't find any. PPG don't do it.

Is there one I can upload a pic and then try the colors on? (Like you use to on the BJT Site for rim's)

I doubt any paint manufacturers would have anything like this as the colour you see can be greatly influenced by your monitor settings.

As for trying on general colours, there are a few guys on here who are handy with Photoshop, there was a thread a while ago where they chopped a few different colours onto a vehicle for someone. Maybe post a pic and ask them for help.

You wont find any mate. As said above the accuracy would be pretty poor. You may find a few that have basic shades but not proper colours.

Even panel shops don't have chips on computer they are all sprayed out chips sent out by the paint manufacturer.

Cheers Mick.
