AkzoNobel Automotive & Aerospace Coatings (A&AC) released Sikkens ColorScala Pro, 2nd Edition, an upgrade on its color documentation system. It offers higher gloss paint swatches,
which provide more accurate and reliable color representation, the company said.
In addition to improved color accuracy, changes in the paint formulation deliver improved durability, the company said. ColorScala Pro, 2nd Edition, is tailored to local needs with
specific content for North America, EMEA, Japan, and Australia-New Zealand. It was slated for
general release in April.
“Both our customers and sales force have been enthusiastic
about the color accuracy of ColorScala Pro since we first
introduced it three years ago,” says Ralf Schueler,
marketing director, A&AC. “Now, with the 2nd Edition, we are
making an upgrade in terms of quality while also adopting
production methods which result in less paint and less waste to
achieve in better results.
“Customers will undoubtedly notice the
higher gloss swatches. Not only is the appearance better, but
the high gloss is more resistant to wear and tear than the
previous version. And in combination with our state-of-the-art Sikkens Mixit Pro color
retrieval software, our customers have the absolute best tools on the market to make certain
they get color right with every repair.”
“Customers who have previewed the ColorScala Pro, 2nd Edition tell us that it provides them
with an unrivalled system for achieving color accuracy. We’re once again demonstrating our
color leadership in the vehicle refinishes industry,” adds Ben Zweers, director color
marketing, A&AC.
