Why are 300 and 500 series finishes different?

• PERFORMANCE• PERFORMANCE• PERFORMANCE• Our 300 series is formulated differently

causing the changes in the color formula.• Switching from 300 to 500 without

changing formulas will cause a mis-tint.

®

PAREX

Switching From 300 to 500 Series

• Here is the conversion calculation:

300 to 500 500 to 300

C-36 *.85 C-30.5 C-30.5 /.85 C-36

L-43 *.85 L-36.5 L-36.5 /.85 L-43

• Note: If you are unsure you can call the Color Department.

USING THE COLOR CHART

• Being able to use the color chart will help you quickly create a custom color using a variation of our color standards.

CREATING A PRIMER FORMULA

Creating Primer formulas for 310 and 313

Example: C-42 I-Y9 L-2Y32

42*2=84/48=1.75-1.=.75*48=Y36

57*2=114/48=2.375-2.=.375*48=2Y18

Y = 48 parts of an ounce.

2Y = 96 parts of an ounce
