High-Tech Color Matching

Color matching the paint on your vehicle is both an art and exacting science.

Auto manufacturers apply paint to the bare shell of the vehicle in ovens where the temperatures exceed 190-degrees Farenheit. This is because the auto manufacturers paint the car before any of the wiring, electronics, hardware, or interiors are assembled into the vehicle. In the collision repair business, the paint can only be dried at temperatures up to 180-degrees—any hotter and damage will be done to the car's mechanical, electrical, and interior systems. In addition, all auto manufacturers use an electrolitically applied "E-coat" primer that is applied to the bare vehicle unibody or sheet metal—this is an immersion process in a liquid, electrically charged solution that is impossible to duplicate in the repair industry.

Finally, the colors used by auto manufacturers may vary widely on the same models painted with the same color. Variations in shading and coloring depend on if your car was painted at the front end or tail end of an assembly line run of paint. Most new cars today are also painted with "two coat" or "tri-coat" paint processes—where mica, pearl, and metallic materials are applied sequentially in the factory finish. These finishes often vary in appearance based on the angle from which they are viewed. For example, a green metallic paint can appear "teal-colored" when looking at a straight or flat surface such as a hood, but nearly "black" when looking at a rounded surface such as a fender.

All of these factors make paint mixing, tinting, and blending in the collision repair process even more critical. To properly repair a minor dent of several square inches, an entire panel may need to painted and the adjacent panels may need to be blended in order to achieve a precise color match. At World Auto Body Centers, we have the best people and use the latest in high-tech finishes to ensure your happiness.

Pinstriping & Graphics

Pinstriping and graphics are applied by the finest people with years of experience in this art form who work with us at our facilities.

Rock chip repair is a method of air brushing tiny amounts of paint into small, chipped paint areas of your vehicle. It is not a substitute for refinishing, but a cost-effective alternative. Unfortunately, this process may only last a year or so, since rock chips tend to reappear after a number of car washes and polishes. But if you are trying to get your vehicle in top shape to sell or trade, it's a great solution.

Paintless Dent Repair is a process which removes minor dents without body work or paint. The dent is "massaged" from inside the body panel. Again, this process is not a substitute for most body repairs, but a generally less expensive alternative for small door dings.

We frequently will advise vehicle owners to use these processes (rock chip repair and paintless dent repair) in certain circumstances where we feel it is warranted (such as the age or mileage of the vehicle might not allow for recovering all the repair expenses if the vehicle is to be sold).

Accessories such as running boards, visors, bug deflectors can also be painted and installed during the repair process.

RVs and Motor Homes

RVs and motor homes present unique repair challenges largely due to their physical size, their construction (fiberglass and aluminum), and limited parts availability. World Auto Body Centers are equipped to handle these difficult repairs.

Motorcycles

When they have been damaged in an accident, motorcycles generally have parts replaced rather than repaired. Many times the cost of repairs will exceed the value of the motorcycle.
