  • HIGH PERFORMANCE COATING
    Publication number: 20230193055
    Abstract: A coated article that demonstrates a sparkle effect and vibrant color over an expanded range of color space is described. A first coating of at least one fluoroolefin and at least one pigment is applied to a substrate, followed by a second coating of at least one fluoroolefin and at least one effect additive. The effect additive is glass flake designed to provide a sparkle effect. The cured film may be provided in a wide range of colors warrantied similar to conventional coatings. A method of making these coated articles is also provided.

  • Digital system and method for paint color matching
    Patent number: 11410335
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining first color information for each of a plurality of first samples of a first target color with a color measurement device connected to a computing device including a display. A digital color image of at least one first target color is displayed on the display. An offset value for each first target color is determined such that the digital color image of each first target color matches the corresponding first target color on each of the first samples. A second sample including a second target color is scanned to obtain second color information. A processor of the computing device determines, using the offset values of the first target colors, an interpolated offset for the display such that the digital image of the second target color matches the second target color.
