The issue of color deviation from the automatic color mixing machine (Color Dif. Autotint)

Color Dif. Autotint is an anomaly that occurs from mixing shades through an automatic color mixer, which is a service where customers can select shades according to the color fan (Fandex) from the color mixing machine itself, color formulas, and base colors (with bases A, B, C, and D).

Causes of shade deviation from the automatic color mixer

• The spray machine is malfunctioning.
• The selected base color does not match the color mixing formula.
• The primary color is clogged, causing incomplete color spraying.

Note: For color stability, it is advisable to purchase paint in one batch sufficient for use, and in cases where additional paint is necessary, it should be purchased from the same store.

Solutions for shade deviation from the automatic color mixer

• Before spraying paint, always check the operation of the spray machine to ensure it is functioning normally, that the formula and base color are correct, and that the primary colors are fully dispensed with the same version.
• After shaking, open the can lid to check the shade against the color fan (Fandex), and the seller should have a label with details (color model – packaging size, shade number, mixing date, and store name) attached to the can lid before delivering it to the customer.

Recommendations

Service providers should use the correct amounts of primary colors and bases and mix the paint thoroughly before use. If the mixed paint is stored for a long time, it is recommended to use a mixer to blend the paint before applying it.
