paint matching by scanning
Does anyone know of a paint suppliers that can match paint by scanning in the Essex area,
I have a flint grey 89 saph and when I gave the code to a local shop, they produced a spray can for me, however the colour is lighter than the original grey.
cheers.

And to state the obvious the paint on your Saph is 21 years old (same as mine) so its doubtfull its going to match out of a can, I was spraying my front bumper last week and it was a mile out so taking it to a bodyshop to do it properly.

I saw a match from Morellis 'Pro Logic' scanner (or some such name) and Stevie Wonder could tell it was wrong
Can't beat a keen eye and experience for matching IMO
The painter will help hide any difference with his own skills too
