Spectrophotometers

AcquireRX™

Axalta Acquire RX CameraAcquire RX™ is a portable, hand-held color measurement instrument that is used directly on a vehicle or part to obtain the correct color match, then transmits that reading into the formula retrieval system. The formula retrieval software retrieves and adjusts the formula to an accurate match in the color quality you need.

Axalta ChromaVision®

Axalta ChromaVision CameraAxalta ChromaVision® is a portable, computerized color matching system that views and reads the actual car color, then transmits the reading into the ColorNet® computer system. ColorNet® compares that reading to the ChromaSystem™ formulas and alternates, then retrieves or creates the one that gets you to the blendable match that today's customers demand.

VINdicator™

VINdicatorVINdicator™ - the first and only system that correctly identifies a vehicle's color based on its vehicle identification number(VIN), removing variability from the process.

VINdicator works with Axalta's ColorNet® for Windows® to "read" the vehicle identification number (VIN) and select the best available ChromaSystem™formula. Here's the quick, simple procedure:

  • After you select a stock code from car/code/year look-up in ColorNet® for Windows®, a new tab, labeled VINdicator™, will appear in the upper right corner of your screen.
  • If a VINdicator color match is available, the VINdicator™ tab will be bold faced (enabled). If data is not available, the tab will appear in light gray (non-functional).
  • Click on the enabled tab, and a prompt will appear for the 17-character VIN from the vehicle under repair.
  • After you key in the VIN, the system selects and displays the closest available formula.

It's that easy to find the right color!

SpectraMaster® color libraries offer complete solid, metallic and pearl colors to anyone, anywhere in a simple binder format for color matching or color design.

Other specification systems exist for the printing, publishing and packaging industries to specify printed color. These systems only address the needs of the printing industry which utilize transparent processes and can be difficult to color match or specify in opaque materials like paint. SpectraMaster® is a universal source specifically designed for the requirements of the automotive, refinish, OEM, marine, graphics and architectural industries where high performance automotive refinish paints are used and need to be matched and specified accurately. With these color libraries, it's possible to specify and match almost any color in the universe!
