Car Paint Color Scanning with Precision at CROP

Do you want to get the exact same car paint color as on your vehicle or another object? At CROP, we scan all car paint colors with extreme precision to ensure a perfect color match. Read in this blog article how we, as specialists, scan car paint colors, what you need, and how fast we can deliver your order.

What is car paint color scanning?

Car paint color scanning is done with a spectrophotometer. This is an advanced measuring instrument that analyzes the exact composition of a color. Based on this measurement, we create the color formula needed to produce custom car paint. This ensures the new paint matches the scanned sample perfectly.

How car paint scanning works at CROP

The process is simple. You have two options:

• Order online and send in a sample
  Order your paint easily on our webshop NonPaints.com. During the ordering process, choose the option to send a color sample. After completing your order, you’ll receive a confirmation email. Include the order number in your package and send your sample to us.
• Visit our location
  Schedule an appointment with us in Berkel en Rodenrijs via our customer service. For scanning car paint on location, it is essential to make an appointment so our experts can assist you properly.

Netherlands

Make sure the sample is well-packaged to avoid damage during transport.

Requirements for the color sample

To ensure optimal color measurement, the following guidelines apply:

• The sample should be at least the size of a credit card (approx. 4x4 cm).
• The surface must be flat, clean, and scratch-free.
• Preferably use an original part from the vehicle or object.

What can you send in for a color measurement?

Various parts are suitable as color samples for measurement. Think of:

• Tow eye
• Fuel flap 
• Mirror cap
• Part of a bumper
• Interior trim
• Wheel rim
• Bicycle or scooter panel
• Kitchen cabinet door
• Part of a camper or caravan

As long as the part is flat and undamaged, we can use it to scan the color accurately.

Also suitable for metallic paints

Do you have a color sample or car with metallic paint? No problem! We lightly polish the surface to make it perfectly smooth and scratch-free. This allows our spectrophotometer to accurately measure both the color and metallic particles. You'll receive the same color in a spray can, touch-up pen, or paint tin.

Paint color scanning is also possible

We can scan not only car paints but also other types of paints. For example:

• Furniture such as a kitchen cabinet or table
• Interior or exterior wall paints from brands like Flexa, Sigma, or Histor
• Industrial parts like bike frames or tubes

We immediately convert the scanned color into a custom car paint product of your choice.

How long does car paint color scanning take?

Scanning your color sample with our spectrophotometer is quick and accurate. From the moment we receive your sample, it typically takes 2 to 3 working days to mix, fill, and prepare your paint for shipping. The exact lead time may vary slightly depending on the size, shape, and condition of the sample.
