Method for selecting a formulation for one or more layers of a multi-layer coating
First Claim
1. A method for selecting coating formulations for a multi-layer coating for repair purposes, the multi-layer coating comprising a primer applied on a substrate, at least one base or top coat and, optionally, a clear coat, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing one or more databases of colorimetric data relating to a set of formulations and/or relating to constituents for a primer and base or top coat layers;
entering the calorimetric data of an object to be repaired into a computer having access to said database;
determining the formulation of the primer and of other layers of the multi-layer coating with the aid of the database, in such a way that the resulting colour of the multi-layer coating to be applied matches the colour of the object to be repaired using the lowest possible amount of coating material.

Abstract
A method for selecting a formulation for one or more layers of a multi-layer coating for repair purposes, the multi-layer coating comprising a primer applied on a substrate, at least one base or top coat and, optionally, a clear coat, the method comprising the following steps:
providing a database of colorimetric data relating to a set of formulations and/or relating to constituents for a primer and preferably for one or more base or top coat layers for a multi-layer coating;
entering the colorimetric data of an object to be repaired into a computer having access to said database;
determining the formulation of the primer and, optionally, of one or more base or top coat layers with the aid of the database, in such a way that the resulting color of the multi-layer coating to be applied matches the color of the object to be repaired using the lowest possible amount of coating material.
