Colour Matching – How we do it

2023, Dec 19 | Blog

There's a reason that colour matching is so challenging. We are not given any colour codes by the manufacturers and even if we were as soon as the paint is exposed to sunlight, it starts to change.

Your Bike’s paint is its skin

There are thousands of variations colours, tints, flakes and lacquers. Now with more than ten years’ experience with all the combination of paint finishes we are confident to match your frame colour.

Making it even more difficult, your bikes paint is like skin. Although you might not notice it until you see it from another angle, paint ages a little bit each day. Over time this adds up, the older your bike is the harder it gets to colour match.
