[ROVERNET - UK] Repaint

Sun Aug 5 16:25:59 BST 2007

James,
Dirk's reply matches the view of the car restoration
chap who painted my car.  He was describing how a
"money-bagged" customer had a car brought over that
was damaged along one side (Austin-Healey 3000). He
wanted the car repaired and repainted in the same
shade of blue.  He had no idea of the paint type or
colour.  Ken went through books of paint chips and the
guy couldn't see the colour.  Ken had a paint supplier
bring over the portable computer scanner.  They came
up with a paint match close enough to please the
owner.  Ken had to do a paint colour adjustment to get
adjoining panels to match.  BINGO, job done.
