Abstract: A mounting structure for mounting a bottom surface 24 of a case 2 of a revolving light 1 to a top surface 56 of a roof 3 of a vehicle. The mounting structure 57 includes cushioning members 58 interposed between the bottom surface 24 and the top surface 56, first fixing members 59 mounting the cushioning members 58 to the bottom surface 24, and second fixing members 60 mounting the cushioning members 58 to the top surface 56. Each cushioning member 58 includes first main cushioning portions 143 disposed close to the first fixing members 59 and contacting the bottom surface 24, a second main cushioning portion 148 disposed close to the second fixing member 60 and contacting the top surface 56, and a sub cushioning portion that damps vibration of the revolving light 1.

Abstract: This invention provides a color matching apparatus for automotive repair paints with which the color matching of a repair paint to an existing paint, whether containing or not containing a metallic or pearlescent pigment, can be performed with high precision in a reduced number of steps even by the novice. The apparatus of the invention comprises a computer, a color data file and a database reference system.

Abstract: A method of determining the formulating ratio of metallic or pearlescent pigments to colorants for matching the color of a metallic or pearlescent coating to an target color wherein, the spectral reflectances of a plurality of samples varied in the formulation of colorants and metallic or pearlescent pigments are measured with a goniospectrophotometer and stored in a computer memory beforehand and, in performing a CCM using the stored data, reproduction spectral reflectances are calculated by reflecting the changes in spectral reflectance due to changes in the amount of the metallic or pearlescent pigments.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of measuring a gonio-spectral reflectance factor to establish a gonio-spectral reflectance factor database available for a personal computer by which a highly-fine realistic 3D computer graphics image can be formed. The method enables colorimetry in a reduced hours in fewer viewing directions compared to the conventional method by executing colorimetry in a plurality of viewing directions selected at random from all the directions that can be viewed by a goniospectrophotometer, said plurality of viewing directions being less than all the directions that can be viewed by the goniospectrophotometer.
