OEM Color Matching & Paint System in Tacoma, WA

Nothing gives away a poorly done repair faster than paint that doesn't quite match — even a slight variation is noticeable to the eye, especially in direct sunlight. City Center Collision Services uses a computerized PPG paint system specifically to avoid that problem.

Why Color Matching Is More Complex Than It Looks

Factory paint can vary subtly by production batch, vehicle age, and sun exposure over time, meaning an exact match sometimes requires more than pulling a standard formula off the shelf — our computerized system accounts for these real world variables.

How Our Color Matching Process Works

Our OEM color matching process typically includes:

• Computerized formulation based on your vehicle's factory color code
• Test panel comparison against your vehicle's actual current paint
• Adjustment for any fading or variation from the original factory finish
• Full panel or multi-panel blending as needed for a seamless transition
• Final verification under proper lighting conditions before delivery

A Finish You Won't Be Able to Spot

The goal is a repair where you genuinely can't tell where the new paint ends and the original factory finish begins.
