Is 8 the same as 39J12?
Manufacturer code8Usually the one on your car’s label
Supplier code39J12
A single factory colour is often recorded under more than one code: the manufacturer’s own code, an industry standard number, and a supplier code. They all mix to the same paint. The code printed on your vehicle’s paint label is the one to match.
This is what the paint label looks like on a Chrysler. The code on it is the one to match.
The kit is mixed to the 8 formula — the same code printed on your vehicle’s paint label — not colour-matched by eye. On panels that still carry their factory paint, that reproduces the original tone.
Where it will not match
Panels bleached by years of sun sit lighter than the factory formula. The kit reproduces the original colour, not the faded one.
A panel that has already been resprayed is no longer the factory colour, so the code will not describe it.
Metallic and pearl finishes are harder to blend across a large area than solid colours — they are at their best on chips and thin scratches.
Damage larger than a few centimetres, or down to bare metal over a wide area, is body-shop work.

It works but it's tricky to get right
Paint match was great its soft didn't want to stick I used the wipe solution and pull all the paint off every time. I applied the paint thin slowly built it up to hight then left it for and hour then I polished took off…

Lots of touch-ups
Worth the money. This is not a basic touch up kit. With the choice of the larger items this should last the life of your paint job, even if you are taking trails every day.
