PPG’s connected digital ecosystem brings together colour tools and software to support a more efficient refinishing process. PPG LINQ Color provides cloud-based colour identification and formula information.
Working with compatible PPG colour-measuring equipment, VisualizID uses 3D visualisation to compare colour variants under different lighting and viewing angles. This helps identify a suitable match and can reduce the need for physical spray-out samples.
