Strong working relationships with the motor manufacturers ensures early involvement in the design of a colour and at the production stages to identify any variants.<\/p>\n<p>All tinters are produced to a tight specification in state-of-the-art production facilities. Every batch is sprayed out and colour-checked to ensure consistent colour reproduction.<\/p>\n<p>There is one recommended technique for each of PPG product lines and these techniques are used through the complete PPG supply chain from production, quality assessment, and colour match through to those used by PPG&#8217;s colour tool suppliers and PPG customers.<\/p>\n<p>PPG recognises that correct colour identification hugely affects bodyshop performance and profitability. To this end, PPG is able to supply industry leading colour identification tools.<\/p>\n<p>RapidMatch\u2122 combines the only five-angle spectrophotometer with a scientifically developed maths algorithm customised for the automotive coating industry.<\/p>\n<p>PPG Envirobase High Performance Variant Deck is the industry-leading colour tool in the market providing accurate &#8220;panel quality&#8221; colour chips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For both the bodyshop manager and the vehicle owner, the colour match quality of any repair is the ultimate test of a refinish product, and PPG\u00a0excels in this area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1595,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-ppg"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
