Automotive Refinish ColoriMeter

The automotive paint colorimeter calculates color coordinate values by measuring the spectral data of light reflected from the surface of an object, which is used to compare the differences between standard colors and sample colors. In the automotive painting industry, it is employed for on-site detection of paint color differences to ensure color consistency.
Selection
When selecting a spray-paint colorimeter, consider the measurement aperture matching the inspection area, support for multiple color spaces, instrument repeatability error less than 0.2 ΔE, environmental light shielding function, and color management software capable of exporting inspection reports.
