Can you match my color?

Yes, and well No.  And also: It Depends.

Color matching is on a case by case basis.  95% of the colors can be matched with no problem. 

What we can not match exactly?  Some vehicle colors.  We print colors and vehicles are painted.  That is the first strike against an exact match.  Added to this there are different lusters and depths (candied, perls, metallics).  Body shops even have problems, even with the exact paint can from the manufacturer.   Many times they can not just paint one fender and it matches another panel.  Even with the exact paint.  Even at times from the same can of paint the car was originally painted from.  Why?  Even a few months later, after the original has been exposed to UV rays the color changes slightly.  Not enough anyone would notice, until a new section is painted.  Also in the can, paint can degrade over time and no longer match the original.  Even with color matching equipment (which we have), paint MOST of the time does not match exactly other paint.  It has to be feathered from one area to the next so the eye doesn’t notice the difference.   Those are normal issues with matching paint to paint.  Matching Ink to paint is even harder.  

Can it be done?  Yes.  Well sort of.  Just like the paint needs to be feathered to trick the eye, similar needs done when matching ink to paint.  If there is a separation of the two areas by just an inch or so (say a border or trim), the eye will not notice the difference between the ink and paint colors.  Right on top of each other, the difference will be noticeable.   

There is nothing worse than seeing two colors that are ALMOST the same, but obviously are not.  Never want it to look like you tried to match and failed.  Again the trick is to create some separation between the ink and paint.  

To review, just like matching paint on paint is difficult to impossible in the paint industry…  A similar issue is found in the printing industry.  The trick is to create some separation and nobody will be the wiser that one surface is printed ink and the other is painted.
