Not All Paint Jobs Are Created Equal
If you’ve ever seen a car with a slightly “off” colour on one panel — too dull, too shiny, or just plain wrong — you already know how frustrating a bad paint match can be.
At Tannadice Autobody, we believe “close enough” just isn’t good enough.
That’s why we invested in the latest digital colour-matching technology — a high-tech system that recreates your car’s exact colour with surgical precision. Whether it’s a factory finish or a one-off custom shade, we match it perfectly — and do it on site.
So… How Does Digital Colour Matching Actually Work?
We’re glad you asked (we love this stuff).
Here’s the simple version:
- We scan your car’s existing paintwork using a spectrophotometer — a device that reads the exact composition of colour, tone, and finish.
- The system analyses the data and pulls up a precise paint formula — not just the manufacturer’s code, but the way your paint looks today, after sun, weather and time have taken their toll.
- We mix the paint in-house, down to the tiniest measurement, and match the gloss level and finish.
- Your panel is resprayed, blended seamlessly, and polished to perfection.
The result?
A repair that doesn’t just look right — it’s indistinguishable from the rest of your car.
Why It’s a Game-Changer (Especially for Custom Colours)
- Factory paint codes aren’t enough – even two cars off the same line can fade differently over time.
- Metallics and pearlescents? Not a problem. Our system handles the tricky finishes with ease.
- Custom colours? Bring them on. If it exists, we can recreate it.
- Blending across panels? Our system ensures the transition is flawless.
