You can preview a new car color on a photo of your own car in seconds — upload one clear side photo and apply the color virtually before spending a cent on paint or wrap.

Why preview a color first?

Repainting or wrapping a car is expensive and hard to undo. A virtual preview lets you see the real shade on your body lines and trim, in your lighting, so you commit with confidence instead of imagining it from a tiny swatch.

How do I preview a car color online?

  1. Take one clear photo of your car (side-on, good daylight).
  2. Upload it to the editor.
  3. Pick a color or paint code and apply it.
  4. Compare before/after and save or share the result.

Does the preview match real paint?

It's a close visual approximation, not a spectrophotometer match. Use it to judge how a shade reads on your car's shape — then confirm the exact code with your painter or wrap installer before ordering.

FAQ

Is a color preview free to try? Yes — you can try it as a guest before signing up. Will it work on any car? Any car with a clear, well-lit photo works best.
