At Autopaints Brighton we have an expert (aka The Genius of Colour) that has been matching car paint colours for nearly 20 years now.


Hand matching is an exact match of the paint sample you have sent us, and is mainly used for vintage or custom painted cars where there is no original colour code. Our expert carefully matches the sample you have sent and can then provide the paint in sizes from 500ml to 5 Litre tins. Please note that blending is required for metallic and pearlescent paint.


We will match literally any paint colour, not just for cars. We match all types of vehicles including boats, helicopters, and planes. All we need is a sample of the colour you need us to match.  


If a precise car paint colour match is required it is advisable to use a sample of the car paint colour to match by eye.  In many cases the petrol cap is sent through the post to precision match the car paint colour (the car paint colour on the petrol cap must first be checked that it matches the paint on the panel where the car paint is to be applied).  This pattern is then returned with the delivery of the car paint.
Hand matching is a time consuming service, and once we have received your sample, you must allow 7 working days for your order to be dispatched to you.
