Planet Color Custom Colors Now Available in Waterborne

Planet Color custom automotive paints are now available throughout North America in a low VOC  system, maintaining the quality of standard Planet Color products, according to Sherwin-Williams. Since it’s available with the Sherwin-Williams AWX Waterborne Basecoat, it behaves like a solvent-borne system, the company says.

With the introduction of PCWC6 Waterborne mid-coat mixing clear with dye concentrates, colors for the Planet Color Waterborne system can be found in its special color selector (AS2615) to create a high quality, custom finish when painting in VOC restricted areas.

Planet Color custom paints are a system of custom automotive colors developed by Sherwin-Williams that use the latest high-quality pigments and dye concentrates for a "radical new appearance," Sherwin-Williams says. Planet Color includes unique optically enhanced additives in a two- or three-stage application process and has been a tremendous hit among custom automotive enthusiasts, painters and shop owners alike for several years.  

With Planet Color, custom painters can save their own custom formulations within the Sherwin-Williams FormulaExpress online color formula retrieval system for a future exact formula match reference. Custom painters also have the ability to mix as little, or as much Planet Color paint as needed specific to their customization projects.
