Professional colour matching

Get the colour right before the paint is mixed.

Have a RAL or BS code, vehicle paint code or physical sample? Breakwells can help turn it into the right paint for the job.

A phone photo or screen preview is not an exact paint reference. Final paint should be selected using the correct code, standard or physical sample.

RAL / BS I know my RAL or BS code Use your recognised RAL or BS colour reference. OEM I know my vehicle paint code Match by manufacturer paint code where available. SAMPLE I have a physical sample A suitable physical sample can be used when the original colour code is unavailable. HELP I need help identifying the colour Speak to the team and we’ll help you work out the most reliable way to match it.
