@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
He only skims the surface of how its done. I own an auto body shop and can assure you it isn’t always that simple. Ocassionally you will get a color that is a real sob and you can tint all day before you get a blendable color match, especially on high pearl colors.
nexa autocolor. it has a good color match.
you didnt check for alternates most all formulas come with alts check alts first save time
