Axalta Advances Its Color Technology

Axalta Spies Hecker Fan Deck
May 25, 2016

PHILADELPHIA - With the launch of new fan deck systems for its Spies Hecker® Permacron® 293/295 Series and Standox® Standocryl® Basecoat paint systems, Axalta Coating Systems has 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.”
