In addition to exterior colors, Paint It also identifies accent, interior, under-hood, wheel, and trim colors, allowing paint technicians to verify all the necessary color components at one time prior to beginning the repair. Once the correct color is identified, users are a click away from formula retrieval via the PPG Online Color Formulation tool.
According to Kimbro, early user response to Paint It has been positive. “Customers are telling us Paint It is very easy to use and extremely helpful,” she says. “Paint It proves finding accurate information quickly doesn’t have to be that hard.”
