What to Do When the Color Doesn't Match After Replacing the Car Door?
2 Answers
If the color difference is significant, the only solution is to perform a full car repaint to eliminate the discrepancy. If it's not noticeable, you can apply maintenance measures such as polishing and waxing to other parts of the car except for the door.
Inconsistent door colors are commonly seen after replacing a new door. As an experienced professional, I believe the reasons mostly lie in the inaccurate color mixing during the painting process or the different batches from which the doors originate. Solution: Drive to a professional auto paint shop and have the technician use a color scanner to match the original car color. First, test spray in a corner to confirm consistency before proceeding with full-door precision spraying and polishing. After completion, check for uniform gloss and ensure no dust or water interference. If left unrepaired, the exposed door panel may accelerate rusting, resulting in an unsightly appearance and affecting the resale value of the used car. Although it does not affect driving safety, investing in repairs (starting from a few hundred yuan) is worthwhile for the overall aesthetics and value preservation of the vehicle. Regular paint maintenance can prevent such issues, and always confirm color samples before replacing doors.
