Have you noticed how many Ford "Ruby Red" cars are on the road?

Ford is currently supplying cars, SUVs and light trucks with this color that uses a pigmented clearcoat to produce this clean candy apple red.

This repair process utilizes a tinted mid-coat layer that is applied over AQUABASE® Plus, DELTRON® DBC, ENVIROBASE® High Performance, GLOBAL REFINISH SYSTEM® BC and NEXA AUTOCOLOR® 2K® basecoat systems. The tinted clear mid-coat layer is made by combining VM4350 Vivid Ruby Tinter with many of PPG’s popular express, production or glamour clearcoats.
