Automotive paint jobs require more than skill—they require the right products. One of the most critical choices you’ll make is selecting the right basecoat toner. Whether you’re working on OEM restoration, collision repair, or custom work, here’s how to choose the toner that fits your workflow.

Consider Color Accuracy

For OEM jobs or insurance work, you’ll need toners that support wide color libraries. Brands like Lesonal and Diamont offer excellent color matching capabilities for late-model vehicles.

Think About Budget and Throughput

Toners like WandaBase are designed for efficiency and affordability, making them a great fit for smaller body shops or frequent spot repairs.

Drying Time & Finish Quality

Diamont Toners are known for quick flash times and clean application—especially useful in high-volume environments. Meanwhile, Lesonal gives pro shops consistent results with minimal effort.
