Since 1984, Axalta Coating Systems and Deano’s Collision have been a match made in color. Deano’s has been using advanced digital color match tools from Axalta for over 20 years and depends on them to easily get a more accurate color match—helping Deano’s keep customers satisfied and grow their business.
Now, thanks to the Acquire™ Quantum EFX, color match is even easier. The Acquire Quantum EFX camera can read the most complicated flakes and pearls, while better capturing to help find the right formula for the best possible color match.
With its lightweight, compact design and bright touchscreen, using the Acquire Quantum EFX is just as easy. And, when used with Axalta’s ColorNet® system, you can eliminate the need for spray outs with the ability to proof color formulations right on your screen.
See how the most technologically advanced color match tools from Axalta have made matching color as easy as 1,2,3.

Many OEM colors are considered to be translucent, providing a cleaner, more vibrant look than older technology pigmentation. In this video, we will review PPG’s recommended process for repairing translucent colors with the Envirobase® High Performance waterborne basecoat system.
It is very important to understand the impact of spectral grays on your final color when working with translucent colors. The pigments used to formulate these types of colors must be transparent to keep their vibrancy. When you try to paint a color like this in 1.5 coats or to full hiding, you lose clarity and color match. This demonstration will show the benefits of using a blended edge underneath a translucent color versus the defined edge of a sanded primer alone.

UniCure would like to thank Hilltoppers for the opportunity to partner in this project. Here is what Owner David Cote had to say about this experience:
““After extensive research with various manufacturers on the right Paint Booth to suite our demanding automotive restoration needs, Hilltoppers Speed Shop decided to purchase a UniCure 1006 Downdraft Side Exhaust Spraybooth Oven Combination. Being a shop that focuses on high end restorations, it was very important for us to choose a booth that would allow us to attain the highest quality paint jobs possible for our customers. We feel we have achieved that with our UniCure Booth. Their sales and engineering staff worked with us every step of the way to ensure our specific needs were met from the sales, design, construction and installation phases of the build. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. The finished product is amazing! I would highly recommend a UniCure booth to anybody who is looking for a professional, reliable and customer friendly process delivering a high quality and affordable paint booth”.”

SATA® RPS™ facilitates the painters’ work, enhances the bodyshops’ productivity and reduces the use of cleaning agents and solvents.
The vented RPS system allows a constant and even flow-rate, for constant color match and film build, whether the cup is full, half full, or just has a couple ounces in it, the flow rate will stay the same down to the last drop.
The cups can be used for mixing, spraying and, when the job is complete, storage.
RPS Cup Benefits
#01 Bendable
The RPS cups have the built-in flexibility of the cup lid “neck” allowing painters to tilt the cups forward or side to side to spray at different angles. This flexibility assists in making the RPS a great solution for difficult paint jobs. Excluding 0.3 L minijet version.
#02 Clean
With SATA RPS, removing the cup from the spray gun is a clean process. When the paint job is finished, squeeze the cup and close the vent cap to create a vacuum. Turn the spray gun upside down and pull the trigger to empty the material passage ensuring easy gun cleaning.
#03 Safe
Occasionally while painting the cup may accidentally knock into the vehicle or stand. Due to the robust threaded connection between the cup and the lid, any chance of the cup becoming detached is avoided.
#04 Refillable
Refilling paint during the application process is sometimes necessary. The design of the cup allows the simple and clean topping off and the easy exchange of the material filter.

This standard operating procedure covers PPG's recommended process for sanding primer surfacer during your repair. Before beginning any repair, be sure to always wear the recommended safety protection for the job.
1. Apply a Guide Coat
When preparing to sand a primer surfacer, a best practice is to first apply a “guide coat”. This application helps detect any low spots or minor imperfections prior to sanding the primer surfacer.
2. Block Sanding
Next, block sand the repair area with P320 grit until the guide coat is removed, then re-apply the guide coat.
3. Sand with Dual Action Sander
Then, use a dual action sander with P400 — again, removing all of the guide coat.
4. Sanding For a Basecoat Blend
For a basecoat blend, prepare the rest of the panel, first using P600 grit, following with P800 grit where the clearcoat will extend. Then use a grey scuff pad to prepare the panel edges for the basecoat blend.
5. If Applying Wet-on-Wet Sealer
If applying a “wet-on-wet sealer” before topcoating, clean the repair with waterborne cleaner and dry thoroughly with clean towels.
6. If NOT Applying a Wet-on-Wet Sealer
If a wet-on-wet sealer is not being used, finish dual action sanding with P600 grit.
7. Precaution for Exposed Bare Metal
Should any bare metal become exposed during the repair, a self-etching primer should be applied, following the product instructions.
You’re now ready to proceed preparing the panel for a spot repair, following the process instructions for a basecoat blend.

Collision Works, the largest MSO in the Oklahoma/Kansas area, switched over to the new Ultra 9K™ Waterborne Refinish System from Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes. Technical and system specialists from Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes were on-site throughout the conversion to ensure a smooth transition from the previous to new system, and to train painters how to apply Ultra 9K and use Sherwin-Williams' color tools including online retrieval software, global color box and spectrophotometer. The process at Collision Works location in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, according to Store Leader, James Cornell and Lead Painter, Zac Yarbrough, was seamless and required little to no learning curve--they're painting more cars now using Sherwin-Williams' "best basecoat ever."
