Matching paint??? HELP

Axalta is a relatively new player in OEM coatings. And $4.35B in annual sales pales to the major players. And because of this I know very little about them.

I'll stand by Minolta Colorimeters because they perform, even on tri-coats. When I was responsible for 3 OE paint development labs we approved 100's of colors using Minolta's. Also, at the end of the day it's still the naked eye in daylight that is the final approval. A good tint guy also helped.

What paint lines did you work with? Axalta owns Spies Hecker and bought Dupont so they have a huge share in the automotive coatings. They purchased Spies Hecker for their technology as they were a great German company with awesome paint lines. One of my favorite to use. Apparently the Dupont line wasn't as good so they are now very similar. They also own Imron, Nason, Standox which are huge in the fleet industry.

This is the Akzo Nobel camera they supply with all of their lines as well.
