Ultra 9K U9130 Blue Violet Water-Based Basecoat Mixing Toner 1L for Automotive

Product Overview

Ultra 9K U9130 HS Violet is a blue-violet waterborne toner for automotive paint mixing and refinish color matching. It is used when a solid or metallic repair color needs a controlled movement toward blue on the face and side-angle appearance.

Unlike a colorant intended for a major hue change, U9130 has a weak tinting effect and is better suited to gradual correction. This makes it useful when the base formula is close to the target but appears slightly too warm, too red or insufficiently blue under direct or angled inspection.

U9130 is designed for use within a compatible Sherwin-Williams Ultra 9K waterborne color system. It should be treated as a formula component and evaluated through a spray-out process before vehicle application.

Where U9130 Fits in a Refinish Workflow

Color identification → Formula selection → Controlled toner adjustment → Thorough mixing → Spray-out panel → Face/flop comparison → Repair application → Compatible clearcoat finishing

This workflow helps colorists separate formula correction from application variables. It also reduces the risk of approving a color based only on a direct-view inspection.

Main Benefits for Users

Helps Correct Warm or Red-Biased Formulas

When the existing formula requires a cooler blue direction, U9130 can be used as a controlled violet-blue adjustment component.

Supports Multi-Angle Color Evaluation

Because the color direction affects both face and flop, the colorist can assess how the adjustment behaves on the panel rather than relying only on one viewing angle.

Provides Gradual Correction

The weak tinting behavior is helpful when the color is already close to target and only a small adjustment is required.

Works Across Relevant Automotive Color Tasks

U9130 can support solid-color, metallic-color, cool-tone and selected effect-color correction within the appropriate Ultra 9K formula structure.

Convenient Packaging

The 1 L can format is suitable for paint-mixing counters, workshop stockrooms, distributor warehouses and regular automotive repair demand.

Color Adjustment Guidance

U9130 HS Violet is not simply a general-purpose purple paint. Its stated color function is to create a blue cast in solid and metallic colors on the face and flop. In practical color matching, it may be considered when:

• A solid color looks too red or warm from the front;
• A metallic color needs a cooler blue direction at the face;
• The flop appears too warm or lacks the required blue tendency;
• A blue, violet or cool-grey formula needs a small directional correction;
• A spray-out panel shows a mismatch that cannot be solved by application technique alone.

The correct amount depends on the target color, formula balance, substrate, application and lighting. Always use controlled additions and confirm the result on a sprayed test panel.

Typical Applications

1. Spot repair color matching: Fine-tune the repair formula before blending a damaged area.
2. Panel refinishing: Adjust the color for doors, fenders, bumpers or other replacement panels after formula verification.
3. Dealership body shop operations: Support repeatable color correction within an organized waterborne mixing workflow.
4. Automotive paint stores: Supply a specialized blue-violet toner to refinish customers.
5. Spray-out and training work: Demonstrate the effect of face, flop and incremental color adjustment.
6. OEM-style finish development: Assist with complex color reproduction when used with the applicable Ultra 9K system materials.

Practical Industry Solutions

Solution for Body Shops Handling Small Repairs

For a small repair, the color may be close overall but still show a warm cast when viewed from an angle. A controlled U9130 adjustment followed by a spray-out comparison can help identify the required color direction before the vehicle is sprayed.

Solution for Metallic Color Evaluation

Metallic colors can change visually with viewing angle. Evaluating a panel from both face and flop positions helps the technician judge whether the blue correction improves the overall match or creates an excessive cool cast.

Solution for Distributor Inventory Planning

The 1 L package and 3-can carton configuration provide a practical stock unit for distributors serving collision centers, 4S workshops and independent refinish stores.

Solution for Training Centers

U9130 can be incorporated into controlled color exercises covering toner identification, formula adjustment, spray-out preparation and multi-angle visual comparison.

How to Use in a Color-Matching Process

1. Identify the Mismatch: Determine whether the target difference is related to hue, lightness, effect, application or viewing angle. Do not add toner before confirming that a blue-violet correction is appropriate.
2. Select the Compatible Formula: Use the applicable Ultra 9K waterborne formula and confirm that all system components are suitable for the intended application.
3. Add Incrementally: Because U9130 has a weak tinting effect, start with a small controlled addition. Record every adjustment so the formula can be reproduced.
4. Mix Completely: Stir or mix the colorant into the formula until the blend is uniform. Incomplete mixing can lead to an inaccurate spray-out result.
5. Spray the Test Panel: Apply the adjusted formula using the recommended process for the compatible waterborne system. Allow the panel to dry or flash as required.
6. Inspect Face and Flop: View the panel directly and at an angle under appropriate color-matching lighting. Compare the repair color with the vehicle or reference panel.
7. Approve or Refine: If the panel is still too warm, make another small adjustment. If it becomes too blue or too cool, revise the formula rather than continuing to add U9130.
8. Proceed with the Refinish System: After color approval, apply the basecoat and compatible clearcoat in accordance with the relevant technical documentation and local safety requirements.

FAQ

What does HS Violet mean in this product?

HS Violet is the product identification for U9130, a violet colorant designed to provide a blue-cast adjustment within the Ultra 9K waterborne automotive refinish system.

What is the main visual effect of U9130?

Its primary effect is to move solid and metallic colors toward blue on the face and flop, helping create a cooler visual direction.

Is U9130 suitable for a large color change?

It is not primarily intended for major color transformation. Its weak tinting effect is better suited to controlled, fine adjustment.

Can it be used to cool a red or warm color?

It may be considered when a compatible formula needs a blue-violet correction to reduce a warm or red appearance. The result must be confirmed through a spray-out test.

Does the product change the metallic flop?

It is designed to influence the blue direction on both face and flop. Metallic appearance also depends on the complete formula and spray application.

Can a distributor sell U9130 as a finished automotive paint?

U9130 should be presented as a waterborne colorant or mixing component, not as a standalone finished topcoat. It should be used within the compatible system instructions.

What equipment is required for use?

A suitable waterborne mixing system, accurate measuring equipment, spray equipment, spray-out panels and appropriate color-matching lighting are recommended.

What is the export package configuration?

The common configuration is 1 L per can, 3 cans per carton, with a carton size of 37.8 x 13 x 15.5 cm. Final packing should be confirmed against the actual shipment.
