Industry-leading color tools The Nexa Autocolor brand recognizes that correct color identification is critical to collision center performance and profitability. To this end, the Aquabase Plus system is supported by industry- leading color identification tools. The centerpiece of color tool support is the Aquabase Plus Chromatic Variant Deck, containing more than 6,000 prime and variant colors. The chips are sprayed with actual Aquabase Plus paint, resulting in the best possible consistency between color chip and color formula. Since the chips are arranged chromatically, users can select from a wider range of variant choices independent from the vehicle's actual manufacturer. • TOUCHMIX ® hardware—working seamlessly with PaintManager software, TouchMix touchscreen hardware minimizes mistakes and waste by enabling more accurate mixes and adjusting for over pours on the fly. The new TouchMix XI system combines easy touchscreen navigation into a rugged, all-in-one computer with a glove-ready screen and several networking options. • COLORMOBILE ® formula retrieval— access the latest color formula information using this mobile smart device application, wherever there is an Internet connection. Color Down to a Science The Aquabase Plus refinish system provides superb matches because of an unrivaled color development program. Working in tandem with manufacturers worldwide, OEM color information is documented from the drawing board all the way to the factory floor and at ports of entry. An aggressive refinish variant program employs color experts on four continents to audit factory-applied colors and identify subtle color variations. This worldwide commitment has resulted in a color database with over 3.5 million primes, variants and special formulations.
