Systems, methods, and interfaces for determining a refinish estimate for an asset

A computer-implemented method for providing an accurate, just-in-time estimate of an asset to be repainted, comprising:

• receiving user input via one or more initial input fields displayed on a graphical user interface, wherein the received user input includes:
• (i) a digital scan of a color by a hand-held instrument;
• (ii) a digital image taken of a portion of the asset to be repainted;
• and (iii) a user time estimate that corresponds to an amount of time needed to repaint the asset;
• using one or more machine learning algorithms to automatically determine an area of the asset to be repainted, and displaying the digital image with one or more lines drawn around the determined area of the asset;
• receiving one or more user inputs that adjusts the lines drawn on the determined area, thereby providing an adjusted area of the asset to be repainted;
• retrieving from a database a plurality of closest match colors corresponding to results of the digital scan;
• displaying on the graphical user interface a plurality of selectable color tiles corresponding to results of the digital scan;
• upon selection of the premium color tile, displaying on the graphical user interface a 3D image of the asset showing a repaired form of the adjusted area that has been painted with the premium color, wherein the 3D image shows different color effects at different angles of the displayed premium color from a single light source;
• and
• upon receiving a final color selection of the premium color, displaying on the graphical user interface a final estimate to refinish the asset, wherein the final estimate includes a list of parts needed to repair the asset, and a cost of repainting the asset based on a volume of paint determined from the digital image and the user time entry for completion of the paint job.
