Auto Painting & Color Match

Auto Painting & Color Matching in Tampa

A repair that fits perfectly still looks wrong if the color is off half a shade. We pull your factory paint code, match it with a spectrophotometer against the actual panel — because Florida sun fades paint and a ten-year-old red is not the same red it left the factory as — then spray base and clear in a controlled booth and bake it.

Free written estimates

Florida law requires a written estimate over $150. We follow it.

All insurance companies

We deal with the adjuster and the supplement so you do not have to.

Owner-operated

Francisco and Ranyer answer their own phones. No call center.

Se habla español

Start to finish, in Spanish — not a translation line.

What this includes

  • Factory paint code pulled, then matched against your actual faded panel — not just the code
  • Base coat + clear coat, sprayed in a controlled booth and cured, not air-dried in the lot
  • Blended into the adjacent panels so there is no hard edge where old meets new
  • Full repaints, single panels, spot repair and bumper refinishing

Free estimate, no appointment. Bring the car to 4922 N 56th St and we will hand you a written estimate the same day. If it is not drivable, call us before it gets towed somewhere you did not choose.

How it works

Six steps, no surprises.

You should know what is happening to your car and what it is going to cost before it happens. That is the whole system.

Call, text or send photos

Snap a few pictures of the damage and text them to Francisco or Ranyer. We will give you a straight read on what you are looking at before you ever drive over.

Free written estimate

Bring the car in. We inspect it, write it up, and hand you a written estimate — Florida law requires one on any repair over $150 and we do not treat that as optional.

We handle the insurance

Give us the claim number and we take it from there — the adjuster, the photos, the supplement when hidden damage shows up. You stop being the middleman.

Teardown & real scope

The car comes apart. Everything the impact touched gets found and documented — because what is behind the bumper is usually worse than what is on it.

Structure, body & paint

Structural pulls to factory measurement, panel work, then base and clear in the booth with the color matched to your actual panel — not just the code.

Quality check & detail

Panel gaps, paint match and systems verified. Then it gets detailed inside and out, because handing back a repaired car covered in dust is not finishing the job.

Rather write it out?

Send the year, make, model and a couple of photos of the damage. We will come back to you with a straight answer.

Common questions

Auto Painting & Color Match

That is the whole job. Florida sun fades clear coat and shifts color over years, so matching the paint code alone gets you close but not right. We read the actual panel, tint the mix, spray a test card, and blend into the neighboring panels so the transition disappears.

One panel is completely normal and it is most of what we do. Blending into the adjacent panels is what makes a single-panel repair invisible.

Hand wash only for the first 30 days, no automatic car washes with brushes, and skip the wax for 60 days so the finish can fully gas out. We will hand you this in writing at pickup.

Two questions, thirty seconds. It goes to Francisco and Ranyer, not a marketing list.
