Abstract
A method for matching colour properties and texture properties of a repair paint to colour properties and texture properties of a paint film on a substrate to be repaired is provided. In the method, the texture of the paint film is imaged with a digital imaging device, the imaged texture is analyzed using image analysis software, texture data is calculated, and the repair paint is formulated on the basis of the concentrations of paint modules, wherein each paint module is associated to specified texture data and colour data.
