Why Paintless Dent Repair Is Better Than Having Your Car Repainted
Why Is Auto Paint Hard To Match?
Paint Formulas Change And Vary
Not all auto paint is the same. And, when paint companies create what is called “a formula to match” for repainted during traditional hail dent repair, the formula used for the repaint could vary, ever so slightly. Meaning it could be the exact same formula but a little bit of a different color.
Paint For Dent Repair Is Solvent-borne, Not Water-Borne
Beyond the color, variation is the fact that the paint used to fix hail when cars are repainted is dissolved in a solvent in order to spray–rather than water, like most manufacturers. This could result in slight variations are problematic when trying to match the original colors
Variations In Viewing Angle Make For Variations In The Paint
When cars are repainted to repair dents from hail, the paint will also vary in color because of the varied angles it is being viewed from–and what type of light source used (outside in natural light vs artificial light inside a shop) This is another reason matching automotive paint is much harder than one may think.
