501-36-62 Paint - General Information 501-36-62 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Most repair paint manufacturers use the following systems: ‡ A tabular system based on the following parameters: œ Color code œ Make œ Model œ Build year œ Color or color name œ Ancillary codes ‡ A system with color cards based on the following parameters: œ Make œ Color shade œ Build year TO BE UPDATED LATER Because of the many parameters used, in a tabular system the color shade can also be determined by the lack of a parameter. When using the color cards, emphasis is placed on matching of the original color shade with the color shade samples. For this reason this method is very helpful when the other parameters are not available. Comparison of the results of both methods increases the certainty of using the correct original color shade and its formulation. Additional certainty can be achieved during color shade determination by making a color sample plate. Here it is however important to apply the complete paint structure with base paint and clear lacquer onto a sample plate (1) in order to carry out a color shade and color coverage test. TO BE UPDATED LATER The color shade comparison is done by comparing the vehicle paintwork with the sample plate (1). The color coverage test is possible by using the black test stripe (2): If the test stripe (2) is still visible after test painting of the sample plate (1), the coverage is not good enough. By using this determination of the original color shade, the formulation and information on any very slight fine adjustments which may be necessary can be established. Bare bodyshell plate The bare bodyshell plate is located: ‡ On the hood lock panel. ‡ Near the type plate. The color name is stamped on in the last row. TO BE UPDATED LATER
