Our mixers have more than 60 years of combined experience in colour matching with the addition of state-of-the-art mixing systems that allow us to integrate with a spectrometer for accurate mixing of the latest colours.

We have a system which automatically puts your colours in a queue and it tells us how long the colour will take. On average colour matching has a 3 to 4 hours waiting period, depending on how busy we are.

We do not recommend it, but it does mix together.

1. Mipa paint range is available in medium and high solid paint and comes with a lifetime warranty if used to manufacture specifications.

2. Vollux and Glaker are medium solid paint and offer no warranty.

This only applies in metallics and there are many different pearl pigments that cannot be sourced locally. Many new pearl metallic colours have a complex range of toners and require drops of each toner to effectively change the colour of the required shade, and this can’t be determined by the eye and a computer formula will be used to mix the colour.

Vollux is a local manufactured brand and producers a good but affordable product. The Local raw and resins is sourced for this product. Mipa is a German Engineered product of the highest standards. This product would therefore be much more expensive but the quality is much higher than that of Vollux.

A clear coat is a need and is used on all paints that are basecoat products. The base colour is just the colour and the clear coat will be applied as the protective layer. Sufficient UV protection will provide the gloss and shiny parts of the paint application.

1. Most new cars are sprayed with water-based paint and have a clear coat over them, even flat colours.

2. All basecoats & pearl colours are sprayed with a clear coat to give the gloss effect.

3. New flat colours can be sprayed with 2k paints and no clear coat is required.

Solvents or Thinners make a huge difference to the end result, on 2K topcoats, basecoats, and clear coat applications. Lacquer thinners are a cheap and aggressive solvent blended with cheap solvents including methanol. 

NB. Do not use lacquer thinners with -

A. Basecoat paint, will affect the pearl in metallics. (Use basecoat thinners)

B. 2K paint, will affect the gloss level. (Use 2k thinners)

C. Clearcoat, will affect the gloss level. (Use 2k thinners)

D. Hardener, will affect drying time. (Use 2k thinners)

E. QD paint, will affect the gloss level. (Use QD thinners)

F. Primers, will affect the drying time. (Use a grade lacquer only)

NB: - Lacquer thinners are only to be used for cleaning equipment.
