New Tips4You video: Spies Hecker’s repair<br />
solution for deep reds with tinted clear coats<br />
Highly chromatic blues and deep,<br />
lively and very intense reds are<br />
currently very much on trend for<br />
new cars. Spies Hecker, a global refinish<br />
paint brand from Axalta, has developed a<br />
process to achieve an invisible repair of<br />
these sophisticated colours using tinted<br />
clear coats. In the latest Tips4You video,<br />
International Training Leader for Axalta’s<br />
Refinish business, Tony Mitchell, gives<br />
practical and easy-to-implement tips.<br />
Recreating the depth and brilliance of<br />
unusual effect colours is a challenge for<br />
vehicle refinishers. It requires a high degree<br />
of skill coupled with knowledge of the latest<br />
repair methods. In the current Tips4You<br />
video from Spies Hecker, Tony Mitchell,<br />
International Training Leader for Axalta’s<br />
Refinish business, explains what needs to be<br />
considered when repairing the particularly<br />
deep red and blue tones from the standard<br />
paintwork, which are becoming increasingly<br />
popular. “We rely on tinted clear coats<br />
with our repair solution. This enables us to<br />
achieve the lively and intense colour depth<br />
that we need for an invisible repair,” he says.<br />
Spies Hecker regularly publishes new<br />
repair tips and frequently asked questions<br />
for particularly demanding application<br />
techniques on its YouTube channel, which<br />
are available to view free of charge.<br />
Mitchell says, “<strong>The</strong> advantage of the<br />
Tips4You videos is that they are developed<br />
thanks to the wealth of experience and<br />
knowledge of the latest technologies and<br />
product developments that Spies Hecker<br />
has. Refinisher can absolutely rely on the<br />
