April 27, 2016

PHILADELPHIA - Axalta Coating Systems has introduced the Centari™ line of refinish coatings for collision body shops in Colombia. A part of the Cromax brand family of refinish products, Centari is an alternative coating system designed to save time and costs through the use of a unique mixing machine that makes paint preparation easy and economical.

Centari’s versatile and easy-to-use solventborne refinishing system is ideal for any size of repair, type and color. It is designed to save drying time, allow easier application and maximize body-shop performance.

Centari’s coatings system is designed to provide jobbers with high-quality coatings and new mixing tools designed to achieve a perfect color match every time. Centari includes a range of advanced color tools for accurate color matching, with over 125,000 color formulations in solid, metallic and pearlescent effects.

“Colombia will be the first country in Latin America to have the complete Centari system. With this new refinish portfolio, we seek to meet and satisfy the daily needs of body shops while saving them both time and money. The product will also be available in additional markets including Peru and Ecuador later in the year,” explained Ricardo Abisambra, Axalta’s Manager in Colombia.
