Many OEM colors are considered to be translucent, providing a cleaner, more vibrant look than older technology pigmentation. In this video, we will review the PPG recommended process for repairing translucent colors with the Envirobase® High Performance waterborne refinish system.
Envirobase® High Performance Translucent Blend Repair Process
It is very important to understand the impact of spectral grays on your final color when working with translucent colors.

This demonstration will show the benefits of using a blended edge underneath a translucent color versus the defined edge of a sanded primer alone.
