Automotive Refinish
Automotive refinish products restore vehicle coating systems after damage, combining preparation, primers, colour layers and protective finishes.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Automotive refinish are a functional coating formulated to be used on damaged surfaces of automotive exteriors in order to restore them, realizing the same feeling of color as that of new vehicles.
Colour matching includes hue, metallic orientation and viewing angle. A panel match also depends on application technique and the blending area, not only the selected formula.
Drying and curing conditions affect repair throughput. Existing coatings, fillers and exposed substrates require a compatible repair sequence.
What turns activity into demand
Adhesion, colour and texture must remain consistent through the repaired and surrounding areas. Separate refinish material revenue from bodyshop labour, equipment and original vehicle coatings.
The commercial boundary
Separate refinish material revenue from bodyshop labour, equipment and original vehicle coatings.
