"When it came to providing color-matching
capability, we paid special attention to the
needs of the aftermarket," says J.J. Wirth,
segment manager, commercial coatings.
"This meant supporting the Delfleet One
system with best-in-class tools for
identifying and consistently achieving
accurate color matches of fleet and other
commercial vehicles."
One such color tool is the Delfleet One
Color Selector. It contains thousands of
real-world and OEM color chips, including
hundreds of variant colors—all with the
aim of providing precise accuracy when
matching commercial vehicle colors.
Color-matching capability is also
supported by PPG's new line of digital
color tools, including PAINTMANAGER
®
XI
color management software, TOUCHMIX
®
XI all-in-one mixing room computer and
RAPIDMATCH
®
XI spectrophotometer.
CONCISE LINEUP OF SUPPORT
PRODUCTS
Another underlying objective driving
Delfleet One system development was
to create a complete line of products
engineered to work together, while at the
same keeping inventory requirements to
a minimum. As an example, the basecoat,
direct gloss, urethane sealer and
clearcoat products can share hardeners
and reducers, with no fourth component
or accelerator required.
