Getting a great automotive paint finish starts long before the first coat is applied. The right colour, preparation products, paint system and finishing materials can make the difference between a repair that stands out and one that blends beautifully with the rest of the vehicle.
If you’re looking for automotive paint in Bridgwater, Valtone Paints and Coatings provides car paints, professional colour matching, aerosols and refinishing supplies from our local shop on Bristol Road.
Whether you’re a professional body repairer, mechanic, vehicle restorer or enthusiast tackling a project at home, our aim is to help you get the products and advice you need for a quality finish.
Matching automotive paint isn’t always as simple as finding the original manufacturer’s colour code.
A vehicle’s paintwork changes throughout its life. Age, sunlight, weather conditions, previous repairs and other factors can all affect how the existing finish appears today.
That’s where accurate colour matching becomes particularly useful.
At Valtone Paints and Coatings, we have a spectrometer available for automotive colour matching. Bring the relevant part into our Bridgwater shop and we can scan it to help achieve an accurate colour match.
For local customers, that means you can bring the part directly to us rather than relying solely on choosing a colour online.
Even a small difference in colour can become noticeable once fresh paint is applied alongside an existing panel.
Modern vehicles are available in an enormous range of solid, metallic and other finishes, and apparently similar colours can have important differences.
Accurate car paint colour matching can be especially valuable when working on:
Starting with the closest possible colour match gives you a much better foundation for achieving a professional-looking result.
A good refinishing job requires much more than the final colour coat.
Preparation and finishing products are equally important, which is why Valtone stocks a wide selection of automotive refinishing supplies.
Depending on your project, you may need products such as:
Having these products available from one local automotive paint supplier can make planning a repair considerably easier.
Instead of discovering halfway through a job that you’re missing an essential product, you can get the paint, preparation materials and finishing supplies you need before you start.
One of the biggest mistakes when carrying out automotive paintwork is focusing entirely on the colour.
The quality of the finished job depends heavily on what happens underneath it.
Before applying automotive paint, the surface needs to be properly assessed and prepared. Depending on the repair, this can involve cleaning, sanding, filling imperfections, priming and masking surrounding areas.
Poor preparation can contribute to visible imperfections and a disappointing finish, regardless of the quality of the final paint.
That’s why choosing the correct abrasives, filler, primer and masking materials is just as important as choosing your colour.
Not every automotive paint job requires spray-gun equipment.
For smaller projects and suitable repairs, automotive aerosols can provide a convenient option.
They’re particularly useful for customers who don’t have professional spraying equipment or who only need a relatively small quantity of product.
Valtone stocks automotive aerosols alongside its wider paint and refinishing range, making it easier to find a solution appropriate for the size and type of job you’re undertaking.
If you’re unsure which approach is best, ask us before buying. Getting the right product at the beginning can save considerable frustration later.
Depending on the paint system you’re using, the colour coat may only be part of the process.
A suitable clear coat provides the final protective and visual layer over the colour beneath it.
Getting the different stages of the paint system right matters, so it’s important to make sure the products you’re using are compatible and appropriate for your particular job.
If you’re uncertain about the primer, paint, hardener, thinner or clear coat required, getting advice before starting is much easier than trying to correct a problem afterwards.
At Valtone, we welcome customers with very different levels of experience.
You might work with automotive paint every day, or this could be the first vehicle repair you’ve attempted yourself.
Our customers include professional automotive painters and body shops as well as enthusiasts working on their own projects.
The important thing is getting the right products for the job.
If you know exactly what you need, we offer a wide range of stock. If you don’t, our experienced team can help you work through the options.
One of the benefits of shopping locally is being able to speak to someone about what you’re trying to achieve.
Automotive refinishing products can become confusing very quickly, particularly when you’re dealing with different paint systems, primers, hardeners, thinners, clear coats and preparation materials.
Our in-house expert Keith has many years of experience helping customers with automotive paint and related products.
If you’re unsure what you need, bring the details of your project — or the part requiring colour matching — into our Bridgwater shop and talk to us.

After all the preparation and painting, the final finishing stage deserves just as much attention.
Suitable polishing and finishing products can help achieve the appearance you’re looking for once the paint system has been correctly applied and cured.
As with every stage of automotive refinishing, use products suitable for the paint system and follow the relevant manufacturer’s instructions.
The best results usually come from treating preparation, painting and finishing as one complete process rather than concentrating on the colour coat alone.
