Matching paint??? HELP

Spies is owned by axalta and uses their own camera system. That one is called aquire. Most paint manufacturers use their own color cameras. I've used close to 6 paint lines in solvent and water and none of them are perfect. Once I awhile they are great but when you scan 6 colors a day you'll see their limitations.

Axalta is a relatively new player in OEM coatings. And $4.35B in annual sales pales to the major players. And because of this I know very little about them.

I'll stand by Minolta Colorimeters because they perform, even on tri-coats. When I was responsible for 3 OE paint development labs we approved 100's of colors using Minolta's. Also, at the end of the day it's still the naked eye in daylight that is the final approval. A good tint guy also helped.
