HMG launches 70 new metallic colours for Colour Box

A range of 70 new metallic colours has been made available by HMG Paints for its HMG ColourBase Colour Box. The new metallic colours are available in a range of HMG products and are ideal for industries such as commercial vehicle, horseboxes and ACE (Agricultural and Construction Equipment) amongst others.

"Our colour team has worked tirelessly to bring these new metallic shades to our distributor network and customers, the new colours have been developed based on extensive collaboration with our customers and partners,” commented Danny Cleary, HMG Sales Director. "The new metallic colours are a great compliment to the existing 2400 colours and will be popular across a number of industries.”

The new range provides enhanced colour matching capability for HMG’s customers and distribution network. With the system utilising HMG’s existing Unit Lite colourants there is no need for expensive investment and the colours are available simply via a software update of ColourBase, the bespoke HMG colour formulation software which already boasts more than 90,000 colours.

The ColourBase Colour Box has been an unprecedented success since its launch and contains more than 2400 colour chips, displayed in chromatic order within 20 fan decks. The ColourBase Colour Box is a multi-function tool, in the sense that not only does each colour have a chromatic code that identifies its position in the colour sequence, but it also corresponds to a colour existing on the market for reference.

The ColourBase Colour Box has already been put to good use by a number of customers who are using HMG’s Acrythane 4G. Up and down the UK, vehicle fleets are using colours from the ColourBase Colour Box and seeing exceptional results using the high gloss, high solids acrylic polyurethane coating developed to meet and exceed the stringent requirements of the commercial vehicle market.

"The new metallic shades combine popular metallics from ranges such as RAL and leading Commercial Vehicle OEM’s along with the industry expertise of our colour team who have developed new shades that offer chromatic continuity.” added Danny Cleary. "Having these colours available in the Colour Box carry case means that representatives can match out on site and have depots produce the colour almost immediately across a number of HMG systems.”

HMG Paints innovative Unit Lite Colourants and ColourBase have been a key tool for the company and its nationwide distributor network for the last decade, and combined with the ColourBase Colour Box, distributors can provide even more outstanding colour choice across a number of HMG systems.
