Milestone for ST+



ST+, the groundbreaking colour update service from Standox, is celebrating its 400th member since its inception 18 months ago. As part of the celebrations the service itself is now being updated and improved with an extended range of colour services. For the first time specialist colour training is now included free of charge – all bodyshops have to do is call to check available dates.

Standox ST+ broke the mould for colour assistance when it was introduced. For the first time experts would automatically update key parts of a bodyshop’s colour system every time a new release of Standox colour information became available – usually two times per year. All work was carried out by expert contractors, who would update colour chip libraries, check colour computers and calibrate colour scales. All this would be completed with no interruption to normal working practices.

An additional bonus came with the growing popularity of PAS125. ST+ services meet several key requirements of the new standard. Now with the latest additions, ST+ offers a total colour tools support package, ranging from the already mentioned free colouristic training to use of personalised System Designer process charts.

The complete ST+ programme now includes:

• Automatic installation of colour updates
• Scale calibration
• Colour computer health check
• Free attendance on colour training courses
• Online formulations night or day
• Technical Data Sheets
• Safety Data Sheets
• Colour News
• Autofarben electronic colour library CD
• Colour information bulletins and binder
• Standothek practical training guides
• Color for Life paintwork guarantees for eligible bodyshops
• Access to System Designer personalised process charts
• Telephone helpline for colour and technical help

Best of all, ST+ is fully customised to a bodyshop’s needs. Whether it’s Standohyd, Standofleet or MotoColor motorcycle formulations, refinishers get exactly the information they want, when they need it. Privileged ST+ members even automatically become eligible to offer Color For Life lifetime paintwork warranties, as long as the business meets normal Color For Life process and performance requirements.
