A critical stage : color matching

Your customers expect perfect results, which makes color matching one of the most vital processes in your bodyshop. An accurate color match can take a long time : you have to find the manufacturer's color from the numerous variants that may exist, while special effect colors, more sensitive shades, colors 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 color reference and all known variants. The key to Colormaster's speed and efficiency is the fact that the color can be matched accurately, without the need for a spray out card.
Colormaster S contains all the solid colors, while Colormaster M has all the metallic and pearl effect colors. To maintain ultimate efficiency, Colormaster is updated several times a year.

Ease of use

Colormaster is a fast and accurate color 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 color 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 color will match the card and the vehicle, precisely. Colormaster gives you a perfect color match.

Immediate time and product savings

Compared to conventional methods, Colormaster can save you up to 32 minutes for basecoat and clear colors and 17 minutes for direct gloss colors (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.
