EVOLUTION OF THE X•OTIC
 COLOUR CUSTOM PAINT SYSTEM

The X-otic Colours Custom Paint System solves problems for custom painters and the distribution system resulting in greater customer satisfaction and profits!

X-otic observed problems in the custom paint industry and recognized opportunity.  The development of the X-otic Colours Custom Paint System was designed to be a problem solver for customers.  These customers are comprised of the skilled artisans and crafts people referred to in the automobile refinish industry as custom painters.  Surprisingly, solving problems for custom painters resulted in benefits for other components of the custom paint industry including distributors, jobbers, and our sales representatives.

The initial problem for custom painters often occurred when they placed their order from an illustrated color card.  Custom painters generally found the color they chose was not immediately available.  In some cases, even a warehouse distributor did not have the color.  The painter would be required to wait until additional paint was manufactured.  This was unsatisfactory.  This problem occurred because jobbers or warehouse distributors would be required to have extensive and costly inventories for the myriad of available colors, some of which were rarely sold.  Custom painters found stock factory colors another limiting factor.  Further, new colors were rarely added to the selection of stock factory colors.  As artisans, custom painters want the ability to style and design new and original colors for artistic impact.

The evolution of the X-otic Colours custom paint system solves problems for custom painters.  First, the customer obtains the color they select immediately.  The X-otic Colours Custom Paint System produces color "on demand."  Custom painters obtain the products they want without costly and untimely delay.  Orders for custom paint can be filled immediately.  Second, X-otic Colours frees custom painters from the restrictions of a limited choice of unchanging stock factory color.  The X-otic Colours Custom Design and Styling Book is a unique colour predictor.  The book contains an innovative colour transparency overlay system that allows the visualization, prior to mixing, of unlimited colours.  These color creations can then be produced with our easy to follow formulas.  The imaginations of these craftsmen determine the end product.  The X-otic Colours System allows for virtually unlimited color design and styling.

Solving these problems for custom painters also resulted in immediate and positive benefits for the distribution system.  Only six untinted neutral base products and tints must be maintained in inventory to produce all colors.  The distribution system can eliminate an extensive and costly inventory of factory colors.  There is no stale inventory.  There are no obsolete colours.  There are no slow moving products eroding profits.  The system reduces the industry trend for large inventory requirements.

ADVANTAGES OF THE X-OTIC COLOURS CUSTOM PAINT SYSTEM & PRODUCTS:

The X-otic Colours Custom Paint System is Unique:

An endless variety of colours are produced from just six untinted neutral bases.

 

Tinting transforms these six neutral base products into eight complete product lines of Basecoats, our product line of Candee Mid Coats, and our product line of Jammin' Coats.

 

The X-otic Colours Custom Design and Styling Book contains an innovative colour transparency overlay system.  This book is a unique predictor of colour.  It allows for viewing, (prior to mixing), of an unlimited color selection.  The X-otic Colours Custom Design and Styling book also provides over 300 illustrated Colours.

 

X-otic Colours, Inc. reduces a trend in the industry that requires the distribution system to constantly carry larger inventories.  The entire concept of this system is based on reducing the requirement to carry large inventories.  All colours are produced from just these six neutral bases that are tinted at the point of sale.  Therefore, the distribution system does not have to inventory hundreds of quarts of paint to have the one correct product for their customer.

The X-otic Colours Styling Center:

Organizes and places all tints, neutral bases, and formulas within "arms reach" on our self-contained tinting bench.  All of our unlimited colour options are immediately accessible from this one central point.  This saves time.

 

The styling center requires minimal space, is easily moved, and could be portable.

 

X-otic Colours has chosen a dispensing system that uses solvent proof HDPE plastic bottles.  Easy agitation and accurate dispensing (as small an amount as I drop) is assured.  This option also allows for minute trial mixtures.

 

Colours are never out of stock.  Only six untinted neutral bases are required along with our Epoxee Primer, tint pastes, toners, dry pearls, and cleers.

X-otic Colours Offers Superior Product Performance at Substantial Savings: 

X-otic Colours, acrylic urethanes, employ proven coatings chemistry with the latest colour technology.

 

Conventional application methods require a sealer coat.  The X-otic Colours application sequence does not! This will save money in sealer costs and hours of labor.  This further improves the competitiveness of our products and price advantage.

 

X-otic Colours primers have eliminated hexavalent chrome without any reduction in resistance to corrosion.  This makes our primer safer to use and more environmentally friendly.

 

All application coats are U.V. protected.  Other manufactures are not providing this level of protection.

 

X-otic Colours has prepared extensive Product Application Directions for custom painters.  These detailed directions yield proven results and positive outcomes.

 

The X-otic Colours Custom Paint System produces greater customer satisfaction along with substantial benefits for the distribution system.
