Differences between Mazda’s 46V and 41V colour codesThe 46V colour code is a more sophisticated evolution of Soul Red 41V, the Japanese manufacturer’s two reddish three-coat colours. Both are very bright and shiny colours, but the 46V Soul Red Crystal colour is the brightest and hast the greatest aesthetic impact, because it has 20% more colour saturation and 50% more depth than its predecessor. In addition, it has a larger amount of smaller aluminium particles than the 41V colour code, which gives it a brighter surface. Considered to be one of the most beautiful red body colours in history ,the 46V colour first saw the light of day with Mazda’s CX-5SUV, and was later used in other Mazda models. Is it so complex to obtain an accurate reproduction of this colour in the body?At present, it is undoubtedly one of the most challenging colours for a bodywork and paint shop. Because of its greater complexity, professional painters must adapt the work and repair process to ensure optimal reproduction. At SINNEK , we have developed a painting process that simplifies and speeds up the reproduction of complex three-coat colours such as 46V and other colours, such as Mazda’s 41V.A process aimed at reducing material costs and working time used, ensuring correct colour matching to prevent repeating the repair. Steps to Correctly Reproduce 46V Soul Red CrystalTo formulate this difficult to match colour, make full use of SINNEK’s W6000 Series water-based system. Unlike other processes on the market, for the correct reproduction of the Soul Red Crystal 46V colour you will not need to use dyed clear coat in the colour formulation. Instead, use the basic WS/6314 Transparent Red, a product that is specially designed to repair complex colours with reddish shades, and which, being integrated within the water-based system, will allow to simplify and speed up the working time during the repair process. This basic colour provides excellent colour matching, depth and brightness, while increasing the profitability of the repair, by reducing costs by more than half compared to other processes on the market. In addition, it is easier to blend. To make it easier to reproduce and speed up this complex colour, follow the following steps:
ConclusionAs we have seen, the greater complexity of this colour lies above all in the correct adaptation of the products and time available for the repair. This adaptation is intrinsically more complex but paying special attention to the critical steps of the process from the start, and following the manufacturer’s indications and recommendations, will enable you to master the application of Soul Red Crystal 46V and other three-coat colours of similar complexity.
