ppg color variant system

Making difficult matches easy.

It's a fact that on nearly half of the cars painted today, the actual color sprayed in the factory varies from the OEM standard—making color matching time-consuming and difficult.

The solution is the PPG Color Variant System, designed for use with PPG solvent-based topcoat systems. It contains color chips and corresponding paint codes for thousands of the latest color variants, covering both domestic and import vehicles. Use it to identify a color that best matches the actual color of the customer's vehicle and you can save time and eliminate costly mistakes.
