Hi guys, Just started a new job, they have a IXELL paint mixing station, used a few times for local repairs, been told its re branded standox? Not too keen on it tbh after use! looks patch on base coat (water) once clear goes on looks better, few colour dont need to blended can go edge to edge computer says. Any way any one used it what you lot think on it?????
I havent used IXELL but have read about it online. Their products are available in Europe,Asia,Africa and South america not North America. They are not only a paint company but offer a wide range of autobody supplys that include sandpaper, fillers and windshield repairs to name a few.
Hi new to the site but saw the comment on Ixell. Been using the product for around 10 years now and as with anything paint some ups and downs. Think the product has some strong advantages over some of the ones I have used before such as PPG and Dupont, such as the ease of application/colour choice and range of clearcoats. They also have that computer that reads colours great bit of kit that!!
I have used the Standox basecoat also and the Ixell feels the same. The colour coverage is great and some of the new clearcoats like the Ixalis Evolution look great and gives us the drying times we need to run a busy paint shop.
They have a team of tech guys that will come and train us onsite also which helps so we dont have to go away, and we have the chance to use the products in our workplace.. Good all round product and they ahve some great quality consuambles at a great price.

Hi thanks for that, since posted that i have got used to it, i take it you get trained by Tony? You work for renault? Yea i have access to that computer. what gun you useing with Ixell?
I worked at a renault approved nissan main dealer bodyshop and we had to have this on the shelf for renault work, we used what we knew best the sikkens on the other scheme hence it hardly ever got used.
But when I did use it it was fine just like the dupont cromax in my opinion, takes some getting used to swamping it all on in one go if you have come from basecoats that require the base to be put on in stages like the sikkens.
If it is rebadged Dupont cromax/spies permahyd or standox equivelent they have a few issues though, as in drying problems (staying spongy) and if you ever need to puff a bit of base on dryer or lighter anywhere watch the colour as light colours tend to look darker in sunlight although it initially looks lighter or ok in the workshop. we had a libary full of sparyouts sprayed wet and dry, giving different colours some like you wouldnt believe.[quote=”InvictaRefinish” post=25330]I worked at a renault approved nissan main dealer bodyshop and we had to have this on the shelf for renault work, we used what we knew best the sikkens on the other scheme hence it hardly ever got used.
