The ColourBase Colour Box is a multi-function tool , in the sense that not only each colour has a chromatic code that identifies its position in the colour sequence , but it also corresponds to a colour existing on the market for reference .
The ColourBase Colour Box has already been put to good use by a number of customers who are using HMG ’ s Acrythane 4G . Up and down the UK vehicle fleets are using colours from the ColourBase Colour Box and seeing exceptional results using the high gloss , high solids acrylic polyurethane coating developed to meet and exceed the stringent requirements of the commercial vehicle market .
“ The new metallic shades combine popular metallics from ranges such as RAL and leading Commercial Vehicle OEM ’ s along with the industry expertise of our colour team who have developed new shades that offer chromatic continuity .” added Danny Cleary . “ Having these colours available in the Colour Box carry case means that representatives can match out on site and have depots produce the colour almost immediately across a number of HMG systems .”
