Colour matching is critically important to the automotive refinishing sector, which is why the Metalux 2 range features truly outstanding colour tools. The Easimix Professional Mixing Bank Software, the world’s largest collection of actual paint colour cards, the new generation colour spectrophotometer and a huge array of support material all ensure delivery of a perfect match.
EASIMIX PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE SYSTEM
The Easimix Professional Software System from Chemspec has met with rave reviews from users, who rate it as having the best balance of features versus ease-of-use. The system boasts 140,000 international colours at your fingertips and not only includes all major brands but also rare ones such as Vespa, Piaggio and Mahindra. The system can even recalculate formulas should overmixing/undermixing occur to ensure no stock is wasted.
METALUX 2 COLOUR SWATCH UNIT
With over 12,000 actual paint swatch spray-outs, the Metalux 2 Colour Unit has the world’s largest collection of colour swatches. The unit is fully integrated with Easimix Professional Software, making this complete package superior to the leading European automotive paint systems. Colour swatches featuring actual paint spray-outs have become the global standard for premium systems, as they enable the colour of the vehicle to be accurately matched even if it has faded from the original factory-spec colour formula. This tool alone can save up to half an hour per colour match. Accuracy is further endorsed with blank spray-out cards so the colour can be double-checked before actual spraying begins.
EASIMEASURE
The Easimeasure, new generation spectrophotometer provides easy click’n’go colour matching and is fully integrated with the swatches and Easimix Professional Software. It reads the colour of the panel that needs to be matched and can store a phenomenal 65,000 international colours with direct reference to the corresponding swatch code and easimix codes for each colour.
All the colour tools are supplemented with support material such as system guides, system posters, safety data and training modules.
Metalux CV Colour Tools
The heart of the Metalux CV system lies in the colour tools which are truly world-class. The recent adoption by Chemspec of the internationally-renowned NCS colour system from Sweden means that a further 1750 paint colour swatches have been added to the existing 1400 colour chips.
The benefits of these paint swatches should not be under estimated. Now matching a vehicle’s colour is as simple as placing swatches against a panel until a match is found, and then simply entering the code of the swatch into the computer driven system to retrieve the exact formula. No more material wastage, no more wasted time, and a lot of happy customers.
In all, there are colour formulations on the system for 5000 colours - including some sophisticated metallics. Not only can bodyshops now offer their customers a huge array of colours, but they are enjoying the time-saving benefits of the colour tools. These improved efficiencies are increasing their profitability while offering their customers a superior product.
The Metalux colourbox contains actual sprayouts of the formulations and are packaged in colouristic sequence. The colourbox is supported by a complete cross reference index and formula book, making it an invaluable tool in the bodyshop environment.
