Measures exactly what’s on the vehicle
CUSTOM COLOUR MIXING
COLOURS- Every colour has a formula
Each colour is the result of various tints mixed to exact specifications. Retrieving the formula that faithfully replicates the colour of a vehicle, requires effective colour tools. Because Challenger is part of Axalta Coating Systems, we can offer reliable colour tools at a good price. Combined, the Challenger colour tools give access to approximately 71,000 basecoat formulas and 34,000 2K formulas for passenger and commercial vehicles. Reduce product consumption and increase efficiency by getting the colour formula right the first time – with Challenger colour tools.
EASY COLOUR-MATCHING
Good colour matching is at the heart of the Challenger brand. Time and time again, bodyshops using Challenger provide good, quick repairs, offering vehicle owners European quality refinishing and excellent value. To help do this they use the Colour Catcher spectrophotometer, which does the colour-matching work.
The Colour Catcher is a user-friendly, hand-held device that digitally measures any vehicle’s basecoat or 2K topcoat, quickly and easily. Straightforward to use, the cordless Colour Catcher can be used around the bodyshop to measure the colour of several different repairs before being connected to the supporting software. And there’s no need to take vehicles outside to measure the colours – the Colour Catcher can be used in all lighting conditions. All these benefits add up to a quick colour-match, and aid quick turnarounds for bodyshops.
