@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 :)

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

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