Automotive refinish paint color work is very complex, the main methods currently used manual color and computer-aided color. In general, automotive refinish paint is made of masterbatch, resins, solvents and additives. Masterbatch component consists of high pigment content leading paste, there are metallic paint masterbatch and monochromatic paint series masterbatch. The resin component is the main film coating material. Solvent component mainly used to adjust the viscosity of paint.
Artificial color is operator refer to swatches, determine its color composition, repeatedly adjust the color contrast, confirmed the hue difference, and then determines the brightness and saturation difference, repeatedly adjust the color contrast, brightness and saturation, eventually blending paint colors with no visual reference to the color swatch.
Computer color is a process that make referring swatches of color, light and shade become data, have been stored in a variety of standard color masterbatch within the computer, then calculate and determine the reference swatch color composition, the operator using a computer to formulate with paint. Its features are high speed, small color difference, small amount of work. It is frequently used by the factory.
