G 9.2.3 Color shade differences

The appearance and color shade of virtually every paint finish undergo changes, depending on its age, amount of wear-and-tear and maintenance.

This is immediately apparent from the obligatory color shade comparison using a spray plate. Consequently, a correct repair-painting procedure may also include a color shade comparison through re-tinting, touching up and polishing the old paintwork (-> G 4.2.6 "Painting procedure information"). In certain cases, the more economical method is to touch up the paint finish, rather than adding a new nuance.

If you decide to re-tint the repair paint, the mixture formula of the color shade in question serves as a tinting aid.

The application method also changes the appearance and color shade of a paint finish. This means that the appearance and color shade of a paint finish depend on:
- The nozzle settings of the spray gun and the spray pressure ( -> G 9.2.3.1)
- The amount of thinner used and the spray viscosity ( -> G 9.2.3.2)
- The spray method used ( -> G 9.2.3.3)
- The distance between the spray gun and the object to be painted ( -> G 9.2.3.4)

G 9.2.3.1 Dependency on the nozzle settings of the spray gun and the spray pressure

Criteria that affect the appearance and color shade of a paint finish:
- The color shade is lighter if a fine spray is used. A fine spray is produced using a small nozzle setting and high spray pressure.

G 9.2.3.2 Dependency on the amount of thinner used and the spray viscosity

Criteria that affect the appearance and color shade of a paint finish:
- The silver effect can generally be made more brilliant with thinner that evaporates faster than with thinner that evaporates more slowly.
- The higher the spray viscosity, the more likely you are to have cloud formation.

G 9.2.3.3 Dependency on the spray method used

Criteria that affect the appearance and color shade of a paint finish:
- The color shade appears lighter and more metallic when dry-sprayed or heavily misted.
- The color shade appears darker and richer when wet-sprayed.
- In between lie all the nuances with respect to the metallic effect and the color shade.

G 9.2.3.4 Dependency on the distance between the spray gun and the object to be painted

Criteria that affect the appearance and color shade of a paint finish:
- A short distance makes the sprayed coat wetter and the color shade darker and more colorful.
- A longer distance makes the sprayed coat drier and the color shade lighter and more metallic.

Particularly worn paintwork should be re-tinted or touched up (-> G 7.1 "Phase III b - Spot painting on flat surface" and -> G 7.2 "Phase III c - Spot painting into neighboring section").
