  • @SDJOE1 yeah fully agree with the colour wheel, i always refer to it, you know what colour is going to do what an how clean the colour is, very handy tool

  • @scottmn1 yeah i know what ya mean mate, i pull my hair out sometimes tryna get the colour right, try get it 95% then blend, good too see you have pride in you work i know alot of painters dont bother to match an just blend and a trained eye can always tell its a poor match, sometimes even a untrained eye, keep up the good work champ :)

  • @waltsa200 they never give a correct match especially with pearls

  • Wear a kilt so i can call you Rowdy Ronnie Piper.

  • @waltsa200 were can i find ppg profit camera

  • Now see, why dont they have the painter in this vid? This dude went to class or read books & works in the office. U only dot the car with solid colors & maybe clean the scale a lil. Blue kills yellow, red kills green & vise versa. Aside from learning on the job, color wheels might be the best way to learn how to tint

  • the worst thing a body shop dose with a car is not detailing or buffing the finsh to what is should look like if u match the paint to a dirty car or a oxidized finsh it will never match no matter what the paint camera says or the eye when the car gets detaild id will stick out like busted nose

  • thats pretty cool.

  • PPG has the "Profit" camera that takes a picture of the color and creates the Mixing formula for your automotive paint needs.

  • if only it was that easy

    but then again

    if you do anything long enough

    golds and whites had lots of probs with

    them
