Like90 Paint Color Sample Card
Like90 Paint Color Sample Cards: Precision Color Matching for the Professional Body Shop
When a collision repair technician has only one chance to get a color match right before a vehicle leaves the booth, the tools they rely on matter enormously. Like90 has built its reputation around exactly this challenge — designing innovative products that help collision repair facilities deliver flawless finishes while reducing costly rework. Their paint color sample cards sit at the heart of that mission, providing the physical substrate on which accurate color evaluation begins.
The Role of Spray-Out Cards in Collision Refinishing
A paint color sample card — commonly called a spray-out card in the body shop trade — is far more than a blank piece of coated stock. It is the proving ground for every color mix before a single drop of paint touches a customer's vehicle. Technicians spray a tinted basecoat onto the card, then evaluate hue, metallic flop, and tonal accuracy under controlled lighting before committing to the repair panel. Getting this step right the first time is critical: imperfections caught at the spray-out stage are inexpensive to correct, while those discovered after clearcoat has been applied can mean hours of additional labor.
Like90 understands this workflow intimately. The brand's entire product philosophy centers on reducing cycle time and eliminating rework in the refinish process, and their paint color sample cards are designed to integrate seamlessly with that system. The cards provide a consistent, repeatable surface that holds basecoat accurately, allowing technicians to make confident color calls.
How Like90's QuickCheck System Elevates the Sample Card
What truly sets Like90 apart in the color sample card category is the synergy between their cards and their flagship QuickCheck product. Quick Check provides a faster, more convenient way to match color for a repair — it simulates the depth and clarity of fresh clear on base, eliminating the need to spray expensive clear coat on spray-out cards. This means technicians can evaluate a color sample card under realistic gloss conditions without wasting clear coat or waiting for a full cure cycle.
Unlike clear coat, Quick Check can be sprayed anywhere that is convenient or wherever the lighting is best for color matching — and unlike wax and grease remover, it sprays on evenly, providing a better clear coat simulation, and dwells long enough to allow plenty of time to judge color, even in hot dry weather. Quick Check dissipates completely without leaving any residue so that another color coat can be applied to the same spray-out card if the first try didn't match, requires no cleanup, and contains no isocyanates. When paired with Like90's sample cards, this process becomes remarkably efficient — the same card can be reused for multiple color attempts, stretching shop consumables further.
