Color Experts Produce State-of-the-Art Fan Decks
GLEN MILLS, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Paint chips are small samples of color, each different, some with subtle
variations that are often unnoticed until held side-by-side. To the
untrained eye, it is hard to believe that a vehicle painted in silver,
red or even the most basic black or white can have so many variations.
Fan decks, a traditional color tool comprised of a series of related
paint chips, highlight these slight differences by creating an array of
color in one tool.

Knowing the importance of this long-established resource, Axalta Coating
Systems (NYSE: AXTA), a leading manufacturer of liquid and powder
coatings, worked to produce one of the most sophisticated fan deck
systems available on the market today. With the launch of new fan deck
systems for its Spies Hecker® Permacron® 293/295
Series and Standox® Standocryl® Basecoat paint
systems, Axalta raised the bar for the industry’s quality standard.
Paint chip size, organization, housing and the cover of each fan deck
system were redesigned to make it easier than ever to choose the best
starting point for color matching.
“Using the new Spies Hecker variant deck for the last month has given me
the most accurate color matches to date,” stated Service King’s Gary
Rajter, a 34-year veteran of the auto body industry. “Axalta’s drive for
continuous improvement is why I remain a loyal customer.”
“Axalta knows that when choosing a color, it is the visual appeal that
compels a painter to use a fan deck,” explained Scott Speakman, Axalta’s
Color Fan Deck Manager. “Holding and seeing each paint chip enables ease
of use, precision and efficiency. The new fan deck systems’ color
accuracy and real-life representation help painters like Rajter to be
confident in their matches.”
Axalta continues to develop some of the most innovative color products
and tools available in today’s marketplace to enable superior
productivity for each and every customer.
