Paint manufacturing method
First Claim
1. A paint manufacturing method characterized in that at least one of following processes (A) through (E) is performed by using a communication network in the processes (A) through (E). (A) a process of a color coating system informing a paint manufacture data management system of a color concept or a color sample;
- (B) a process of the paint manufacture data management system receiving the information of the color concept or the color sample, creating colors corresponding to the color concept or the color sample by color creation means, and performing color presentation by informing the color coating system and/or a coated product sales system of the colors;
(C) a process of the color coating system and/or the coated product sales system informing the paint manufacture data management system of color image information for correcting a color selected from the created colors;
(D) a process of the paint manufacture data management system performing color tuning based on the color image information and approving, together with the color coating system and/or the coated product sales system, a color as a design master, the color being determined as a result of repeating the provision of the color image information and the color tuning through mutual communication between the paint manufacture data management system and the color coating system and/or the coated product sales system; and
(E) a process of determining a selected color and paint for developing the color of the design master and creating paint mixture data by mutual communication of the paint manufacture data management system and the color coating system.

Abstract
The present invention is a system including a color coating system, a communication network, and a paint manufacture data management system.
According to this system, a paint manufacturer and a color coating company exchange necessary information for paint manufacture, such as an object for coating, coating conditions, paint, and color, via the communication network by the color coating system and the paint manufacture data management system so that a color paint matching an image of a color concept proposed by the color coating company is manufactured.
