PPG extends colour code identification support

PPG is at the forefront of colour science and technology development and knows that colour accuracy and colour capability are key points to maximise the whole production process for  its  customers.

The ease of retrieving colour and the capability to get the ‘right’ colour first time is a key step in process efficiency for the Bodyshop.

To support bodyshops in quick and easy colour identification the following colour code tools have been added to the Colour Tools section of its website, www.ppgrefinish.com
