Spies Hecker has introduced a new 250 ml can size for 11 effect mixing colours of the Permahyd Hi-TEC basecoat 480 series. It means customers can order these special mixing tints in 250 ml cans in addition to the existing 500 ml cans.

Spies Hecker says many effect tints are highly pigmented so that a little goes a long way. The new size means bodyshops can adjust purchase quantities of paint material to the paint volume that is actually needed and so reduce costs.

Daniel Hartland, Brand marketing coordinator for Spies Hecker says, “These smaller cans will help bodyshops to adapt orders of mixing colours to actual usage rates and so ensure they always have best quality, fresh paint available.”

The new can size also offers other benefits in that it is easier to handle. The 250 ml cans all come with new dosing lids without paddles, as the paint no longer has to be stirred in the mixing machine. Effect tints only need to be gently shaken before use.

Additional tints will become available in the 250 ml cans through the year.
