Whether you are repairing collision damage, correcting minor defects, small surface touch-ups, or completing a full restoration and refinish, O’Reilly Auto Parts can colour-match and custom-mix the paint you need in the quantity your project requires.
About colour matching and fading
Exact matches can be affected by UV exposure, age, and prior refinish work. For these reasons, we cannot guarantee that a small spot repair will blend perfectly with surrounding panels. In many cases, we can improve accuracy with a spectrophotometer reading taken from your panel to approximate a faded or non-factory shade more closely.
Bring the vehicle’s year, make, and model, plus the paint code from the trim plate or information label. With this code, we can colour-match and mix from a few ounces to multiple gallons, depending on your job.
Cannot find the code? We can help locate it or point you to the proper label and code format for your vehicle. If necessary, we can also assist you in using the VIN through a dealership to retrieve the factory paint name and code.
Paint code locations vary by manufacturer. The code commonly appears on an information label near the VIN and may include both body colour and trim colour fields.
Many tags list both an exterior paint code and an interior trim code; two-tone vehicles can list more than one exterior colour. If abbreviations are unclear, take a photo of the label and we will confirm the correct code.
If the label is missing or unreadable, locate the VIN (often visible through the windshield at the dash or A-pillar). The selling dealership can run the VIN to provide the original paint name and code. We will then mix a paint that matches that factory specification. When the vehicle has significant fade, a spectrophotometer scan of a representative panel can be used to refine the match for a better blend, especially on aged or previously refinished finishes.
