— The WISETONE PLUS System Perspective
For decades, the technological logic of the automotive refinish paint industry remained relatively stable.
A fixed number of toners, mature formula systems, and standardized spray techniques were sufficient to meet the repair needs of most vehicles on the road.
However, the rapid rise of new energy vehicles (NEVs) is fundamentally changing this balance—and color is at the center of this transformation.
1. The NEV “Color Revolution” Is More Than Adding New Toners
Compared with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles, NEVs show clear and structural changes in color design:
A significant increase in cool tones, gray-white shades, and low-saturation colors
Extensive use of metallic effects, fine pearls, and special optical pigments
Colors that show visible variations under different lighting conditions and viewing angles
These colors fall outside the comfort zone of traditional automotive refinish systems.
Many body shops encounter the same issue:
Using existing toner systems, the color always ends up “almost right—but not quite.”
This is not a technician problem.
The reality is that NEV color technology has moved beyond the functional limits of conventional toner systems.
2. Greater Color Complexity Requires a New Generation of Refinish Systems
The challenge brought by NEV colors is not simply “more colors,” but a complete upgrade of color-matching logic:
Traditional systems with around 100 toners can no longer cover the expanding NEV color range
Pearl, metallic, and special-effect pigments are increasing at an unprecedented rate
A single formula often cannot fully compensate for batch variations and component differences
This means modern automotive refinish paint must offer higher precision, scalability, and system flexibility—not just more toners.
Through long-term development and real-world application, WISETONE PLUS has established a clear direction:
Refinish solutions for new energy vehicles must be engineered at the system level, not adapted from outdated structures.
3. Application Methods Are Changing Along with Vehicle Design
Beyond color, NEVs introduce structural and material changes that directly affect spraying performance:
A higher proportion of plastic exterior components
More complex part geometries
Greater expectations for film uniformity, layering, and visual consistency
As a result:
Experience-based spraying methods show lower repeatability
The process window becomes narrower
Consistency and efficiency become more critical than individual performance metrics
In NEV refinishing, spray stability and ease of application often outweigh isolated technical parameters.
4. WISETONE PLUS: Solving NEV Refinish Challenges at the System Level
WISETONE PLUS follows a clear principle:
We develop coatings that evolve together with vehicles—and we stay at the forefront of new energy technology.
To address the core challenges of NEV refinishing, WISETONE PLUS has built a comprehensive system focused on:
4.1 A Color-Matching System Optimized for NEVs
Systematic design based on mainstream NEV color trends
Continuous expansion of high-precision, highly specialized toners and pigments
Turning complex NEV colors into repeatable, accurate, and standardized results
4.2 Efficiency-Driven Color Matching and Application Logic
Reduced dependence on repeated spray-out testing
Clear formula retrieval and simplified workflows
Shorter repair cycles and improved vehicle delivery efficiency
4.3 Enhanced Spray Adaptability
Lower application difficulty
Higher spraying stability
Reliable results across technicians with different experience levels
5. Leading the Market Means Solving Problems Before Customers Feel Them
The global NEV vehicle population continues to grow rapidly—and the real challenges are just beginning.
In the years ahead, color design will keep evolving, materials will continue to upgrade, and competition in automotive refinish coatings will gradually shift from price and brand recognition toward:
Whether the system is truly complete
Whether it genuinely understands NEV technology
Whether it helps customers increase efficiency and reduce rework
WISETONE PLUS invests early in the NEV refinish sector not to chase short-term trends, but to support long-term customer success.
New energy vehicles are not only changing powertrains.
They are redefining the technical rules of the automotive refinish paint industry.
In this transformation, only companies with system-level capability, deep technical expertise, and forward-looking vision will move further.
WISETONE PLUS is already at the forefront of new energy vehicle refinish solutions.
