STANDOX

No doubt you’ve heard all the buzz in the industry about the new VOC Regulations. You may be wondering where and when to start first, and whether you will make the right decision for your paint shop;

“Do I need to upgrade my equipment?”
“Who will be training my technicians?”
“Is my paint supplier ready?”
“Will there be disruptions to the shop workflow during the change over?”
“Will we continue to be as productive as before?”
“How will this impact my bottom line?”

Well, you can relax. We can answer all these questions, and more.

Auto Body Specialties is pleased to introduce Standox Standohyd Waterborne. With 15 years experience in waterborne technology in Europe, and over 50 successful conversions so far in Western Canada, you can be sure that Standox has the technical experience and product maturity to handle any challenges that your shop can throw at it.

We at Auto Body Specialties have been proudly selling and servicing the Standox Automobile Refinish line for more than 16 years. Now, with the introduction of Standox Standohyd waterborne paints, we are more confident than ever of being able to satisfy our current, and future, Body Shop partners paint shop needs.

Standox Standohyd Basecoat is clearly superior to conventional basecoat in a number of areas. Standohyd achieves an exceptional Clear Coat appearance, high color accuracy, and outstanding opacity. What’s more, it complies with strict environmental regulations.

 However, the biggest advantage must be it’s economy:

• 1 ½ Coat Application – fast with no flash off time!

• High opacity

• Only 60 mixing toners

• No activators, binders or additives                                                   

• Easy Preparation – just add water and spray                                                               

• Quick Drying

•   Reliable and Highly Productive

Step 1 is to schedule a Shop Audit where we will evaluate your shop’s readiness for waterborne. We will then issue you a “report card” to show you all the necessary steps needed to get you ready. Most times, shops are pleasantly surprised to know that they won’t need a very large investment to prepare for Standox waterborne.

Our shops have been uniformly pleased at how user friendly and efficient  Standohyd paint is to apply and use. The “learning curve” is small, the training is superior, and cycle times have actually improved. Our painters would not want to switch back to solvent basecoat, even if it wasn’t legislated! By being ahead of their competitors, our shops are well positioned for the next wave of product changes the new regulations will bring. Plus, they are marketing their new “environmentally friendly” status to their customers.

As a jobber dedicated to the progress and growth of our customers, it is gratifying to be able to offer such an outstanding product as Standohyd waterborne, and to see it work so well in a variety of shop situations.
