Car paint color codes

In January 2021 someone asked me to make a database based on paintscratch.com. I mentioned this on website to do in the future if there are multiple people interested, and within 2 weeks other 2 people wanted the same. I post it here for everyone. Coverage: 1950s-present, it is focused on cars sold in US & Canada, but also include few models that aren’t sold there.

1st paint color database

The first car paint color database I made in December 2018 at request of someone from United States who wanted me to scrap data from automotivetouchup.com. Nobody else purchased this in whole 2019, a new customer came in March 2020 thus I done first update, by end-2020 5 customers purchased, so this became a regularly updated database.

Coverage: 1950s-present.

2nd paint color database

In April 2019 another customer asked me to do the same for Europe, he suggested sourcing data from vernicispray.co.uk. Coverage: 1970-present (note: a couple of cars have wrong production years in this website). This website turned to be not so good, database having poor sales, and I realized why: it lacks HEX codes that indicate color (it is indicated via an image swatch). By end-2020 two more purchased it.
