Color Index Documentation.

Visual colour finding tools.

The Spies Hecker Color Index documentation is a big help in finding the exact colour.

Colour chips give you a complete overview of all OEM colours and their variants. They are in alphabetic order by car manufacturer (OEM) and colour code and are updated yearly. The flexible chips are painted with original Spies Hecker paint to facilitate finding the correct colour on the object to be repaired. The corresponding colour code is on the back of the chip.

In addition the Hi-TEC and add-on parts documentation (Color Index Specials) have barcodes on the back of the chip for easy scanning into CRplus.

Color Swatch Permasolid SpectroFlex 5400

Colour Swatch Permasolid SpectroFlex 5400.

Boot lid, bonnet or vehicle exterior – car makers often resort to pigmented surfacers. On the exterior, this pigmented material masks stone chipping. On interior surfaces at the front and rear, the coloured film of surfacer serves as a substitute for the top coat.

For this coloured surfacer system the bodyshop uses 6 basic colors (white, black, red, green, yellow and blue) to mix a variety of solid colors – quickly and efficiently. The precise mixing formulae and the Permasolid SpectroFlex 5400 colour fan with its 143 colour chips makes work much easier.
