The Sikkens simple system

The Sikkens Simple System helps take the guesswork out of refinishing, so painters can maximize efficiency, reduce bottlenecks and improve consistency, appearance, and durability. The system revolves around a core set of products:

  • Colorbuild Plus achieves color without the use of topcoat toners-just mix the six colored primers for the desired primer /sealer color. Colorbuild Plus reduces the amount of topcoat material needed to accomplish hiding translating into decreased cost and shorter application time.
  • Autobase Plus provides the best color match in the industry, plus better coverage, sprayability, and metallic control. Autobase plus is clearly the industry’s leading basecoat-the color you can count on.
  • Autoclear III clearcoat system produces a brilliant finish with a minimum bake time. Using this high solids clearcoat increases your efficiency and productivity.

Guaranteed for a lifetime

The Sikkens Refinish Assurance Plan is AkzoNobel’s guarantee that work done by qualified Sikkens shops will be free of material defects for as long as the customer owns the vehicle.
