ChromaVision™ The most productive colour retrieval tool

The most productive colour retrieval tool A superior repair is invisible; you can’t see it’s been done. One of the most important ways of achieving this is an ideal colour match to the existing paint finish. The powerful ChromaVision™ spectrophotometer by DuPont Refinish measures a vehicle’s actual paint colour and selects the closest colour formula to match.
No more uncertainty Compared to other colour tools, ChromaVision™ is simplicity itself. Just calibrate, measure and mix. No longer do you need to match colour chips visually, or find that the vehicle’s colour doesn’t quite match any chip. ChromaVision™ will just measure what’s there - regardless of colour.
No more wasted time ChromaVision® has its own light source, so no need to roll a car into daylight to match colours. It’s highly accurate, so less need to experiment through repeated time-consuming spray tests. It’s literally plug-and-play; hooked up to a ColorQuick Pro or ColorNet® Pro system, ChromaVision™ data can be fed to your scales to tell you what and how much colour to mix together.
Boost productivity ChromaVision™ data tells you exactly what to mix together for an accurate colour match.
ChromaVision™ removes the trouble from a vital part of every repair you carry out which allows you to do more repairs in the same time. More productivity means more throughput and more revenue. This means ChromaVision™ is an investment that will soon pay for itself, bringing you ultimately more profit.

Preparation With a few exceptions, ChromaVision™ can accurately measure the vast majority of paint colours. Being a precision tool, ChromaVision™ spectrophotometer does require mandatory training. Before use, paint surfaces to be measured must be clean of grease and dirt, and should in some cases be polished to remove scratches that will influence results.
Long-lasting LED lamp means you can take the light to the car instead of rolling the car out to the light.

Today’s waterborne paint system for the future
3
reasons to choose DuPontTM Cromax®
The future is easier when you’re already there. DuPont, a leader in OEM water-based paints, is also at the forefront of waterborne paint technologies for the automotive repair sector. DuPont Refinish developed Cromax® as the paint technology of the future. Cromax® is an advanced waterborne repair paint system that’s based on concentrated tints that are mixed with water-based binders. Developed to meet current and forthcoming European environmental legislation, Cromax® combines environmental friendliness with high quality and streamlined body shop productivity. It has excellent colour performance, superior hiding capabilities and exceptional chip resistance. This is backed by a comprehensive range of DuPont Refinish distributor support services for body shops, to help streamline their operations and ensure that they get the most from their Cromax® system. Choose Cromax® today and make the viable choice for the future. It’s a choice for optimal productivity, ease of application, and perfect colours.

1 Productivity
Reason
Primers matched to basecoats:
DuPontTM Cromax® gives productivity advantages across the entire painting process. The performance of DuPontTM Cromax® is fully equivalent to solvent-based paints. Combined with other DuPont Refinish product systems, productivity can be enhanced even more.
Use straight from the mixing machine: Cromax® is ready to spray... direct from the mixing machine, saving you time.
ValueShade® primers are available in a range of grey reflective values that match the lightness values of Cromax® basecoats. This helps to achieve correct colours and reduces the number of coats required, decreasing both production time and material consumption.
Quickly matched colours: Using the advanced colour matching systems, accurate colour selection is made in an instant.
Less drying time:
Excellent coverage, hiding, and lower consumption:
Time-consuming flash-off times are eliminated because you can spray wet-on-wet. Drying can be accelerated, using forced air.
Cromax® has excellent hiding properties. This means fewer passes (usually 11/2 to 2 wet-on-wet) which saves on labour costs. Better hiding also reduces consumption.

!
Use clean spray guns. Clean your gun immediately after you finish the application of the basecoat. While this is drying, prepare your clearcoat, and finish the repair (a continuous process). Apply the basecoat in the specified temperature window (minimum 18°C). Use ventures to accelerate drying, possibly combined with an increased temperature (except when the RH is very low).
3
2 Ease of application
Reason
DuPontTM Cromax® is ready to use… straight from the mixing machine.
Easy preparation: Working with Cromax® is very easy, and paint preparation is simple. Just mix the tints and the paint is ready to apply.
User friendly: All who use Cromax® for the first time agree: Cromax® is a pleasure to work with. And this ease of application delivers the streamlined procedures that you need to ensure that you remain competitive and profitable in today’s dynamic market.
!
Check the relative humidity before you start your application. Eventually bring both the temperature and the relative humidity within the optimum range. Ensure that you work in optimal conditions (substrate preparation, air quality, spray booth conditions). Apply the basecoat wet-on-wet, and use the right application techniques (i.e. mistcoat for metallic). For environmental conditions outside the optimum window, add WB400 to widen the window.
Excellent basecoats:
Relative Humidity (%)
Cromax® waterborne basecoats are designed to help you achieve the perfect refinishing job much more easily, by covering with less effort.

Temperature (C°)
Adding WB400 significantly expands the window of optimal productivity in work environments that have extremes of temperature and/or humidity.

3 Perfect colours
Reason
An excellent match is the essential element for customer satisfaction. When you first begin using DuPontTM Cromax®, you’ll start with a completely new system. You’ll find yourself enjoying several advantages that aren’t available with most conventional paint systems.
Excellent colour matches: The Cromax® colour system provides advanced colour matching tools that make it simple to select the exact colour formula. More than 20,000 colour formulas are available. User-friendly colour tools consistently make perfect colour matches quickly attainable.
Superb aluminium and pearl flake control: Aluminium and pearl flake control ensures that metallic and pearl effects perfectly match the original paint.
!
Select your colour using the right colour tools on the correct area of the car, in correct light conditions. Use the correct application technique for a colour sample.
Comprehensive range of support tools: The DuPont ChromaVision® Spectrophotometre helps you find the exact required Cromax® colour formulas. The userfriendly ChromaVision® colour-matching system produces optimal colour recipes using a PC and compatible DuPont ColorNet® processing software.
Colour properties and durability: Cromax® has excellent colour properties. The basecoat and clearcoat work together to guarantee long-lasting, vibrant colour durability.
Clearcoats: The compliant clearcoats for use over DuPontTM Cromax® are: 3800S Chromaclear ® VOC
3750S Ultra Productive VOC Clear
3550S Universal VOC Clear
3300S Protect Plus Clear

Environmental legislation conformance Cromax® was developed to satisfy current and forthcoming European emissions legislation. By using less solvents, it reduces waste, as well as the smell of solvents in the air. All Cromax® products have been developed with exceptional care to reduce waste. The basic carrier for all Cromax® components is water. This results in the lowest possible VOC for current basecoat technologies. In fact, all Cromax® colours have a VOC of less than 420 g/l RFU. The average VOC of all 20,000 Cromax® colours is approx 250 g/l.
