Great products, based on European technology – they’re the foundation of our business. But atStandox, we go beyond premium paint.

…and beyond.We also understand that it takesmore than paint to make you profitable. So we’ve developed systems, services and support tobuild your business in ways that no other paint manufacturer can.Standox is committed to serving moreof your refinishing business needs.

Premium paint…As a professional refinisher, you knowit takes a combination of paint andskill to exceed the expectations ofyour customers. And you know it’stough to do a superior job if youdon’t have the right paint. At Standox,great paint is the foundation of ourbusiness. To build this foundation,we rely on our global headquartersin Wuppertal, Germany, for research,technology, manufacturing and quality control.

The best color matchin the industry.As part of the DuPont PerformanceCoatings group of products, Standoxhas advantages not available to otherpaint companies. Our associatedoriginal equipment (OE) division,DuPontHerberts Automotive Systems,supplies paint to all of the world’smajor vehicle manufacturers. Thisclose relationship means that Standoxhas formula information for all OEvehicle colors.

Superior in every measure of quality.

Accurate color matching, however,doesn’t stop at a manufacturer’s specifications. Variations can occur during the OE productionprocess, resulting in vehicles thatdon’t perfectly match official colorformula specification. We note and track these differences using a network of checkpoints throughoutNorth America and Europe. Then atour color lab near Philadelphia, wecollect all the data and create formulasto match any variant colors.

Standox® products are manufactured to exacting German standards of technology, reliability and consistency. This high quality meansyou can always count on Standox for exceptional performance.

Your business is complicated enoughwith the variety of vehicles you haveto paint. So, we try to make it easierby limiting the number of productsyou need to inventory. An exampleis our single hardener range.

We also know how important productivity is to your operation.That’s why we developed a direct-to-original-equipment primer. Nosanding is required. Such simplicityruns throughout our product line.Standox toners cover in only two orthree coats. We have a clearcoatthat covers in one and a half coats.Reducing the number of steps doesmore than save you time. It alsohelps control costs.

Common Job – Uncommon ResultsThe typical repair from bare metal to clear.

Step Product Approx. Time Coats to Cover

1 1K Primer Filler 15 minutes – final Flash Off 1 on bare metal

2 2.1 Filler 45 minutes air dry @ 80° F 2 - 4 (6.4 mil thickness)

3 Basecoat 10 - 15 minutes final 2 - 3Flash Off to Clear

4 2K Clear 15-minute bake at 1.515 - 60 130° F metal temperature

There are two ways to measureeconomy. Rather than the cost percan, we look at the cost of appliedpaint. That’s what really counts –where the paint hits the metal.

The simpler, the better.

We build in real value.
