The R-M colour tool

Colormaster: R-M developed more than ten years ago the best colour research system in the world. Today the Colormaster is still one of most profitable investments that can make the bodyshops colour management simple, efficient and reliable. Colormaster saves valuable time in colour matching while significantly reducing material consumption.

A critical stage : colour matching

Your customers expect perfect results, which makes colour matching one of the most vital processes in your bodyshop. An accurate colour match can take a long time : you have to find the manufacturer's colour from the numerous variants that may exist, while special effect colours, more sensitive shades, colours from different manufacturing plants, aging and weathering are all factors that must be considered.

The system’s strength

R-M Colormaster provides accurate identification of every leading vehicle manufacturer's colour reference and all known variants. The key to Colormaster's speed and efficiency is the fact that the colour can be matched accurately, without the need for a spray out card.
Colormaster S contains all the solid colours, while Colormaster M has all the metallic and pearl effect colours. To maintain ultimate efficiency, Colormaster is updated several times a year.

Ease of use

Colormaster is a fast and accurate colour tool designed to be used in three simple stages :

    * Take the cards corresponding to the manufacturer's reference from the Colormaster system.
    * Select the card that accurately matches the colour of the vehicle.
    * Mix the R-M formula from the corresponding card.

By following the R-M technical data sheets to ensure the correct mixing ratio and application, you can be sure the colour will match the card and the vehicle, precisely. Colormaster gives you a perfect colour match.

Immediate time and product savings

Compared to conventional methods, Colormaster can save you up to 32 minutes for basecoat and clear colours and 17 minutes for direct gloss colours (Dekra study). Since accuracy is one of our prime concerns, we asked three independent bodies to test Colormaster : Dekra in Germany,
Thatcham in the UK and CESVIMAP in Spain. All three measured and certified the performance of Colormaster.

Indispensable for high quality refinishing, Colormaster helps maintain your professional image, improves your competitiveness and ensures customer satisfaction.
