Cloud Runner Mottling Meter

What is meant by mottling in effect finishes?

Mottling disrupts the overall color balance of effect finishes. It's an undesirable flaw that can occur with effect coatings, especially noticeable on lighter metallic surfaces.

These irregular variations in brightness can now be accurately measured: the cloud-runner simulates visual assessment from various angles and describes clouds/mottles by their size and visibility.

Control paint mottling with ease:

• One-handed operation for simplicity
• Compact and lightweight design for effortless handling
• Adjustable scanning length up to 100 cm
• Intuitive menu navigation via scroll wheel and large, multilingual display
• Comprehensive statistics, ample memory, and USB port for data management
• Convenient docking station for transferring data to PC and recharging meter batteries

Introducing the Paint Mottling Chart for simple Pass/Fail analysis:

Designed for streamlined quality control, the mottle chart simplifies the process.
Data is assessed based on color and a defined texture scale. For instance, fine silver may have a texture value of approximately -4, whereas coarse silver might hover around +3.
An overarching "Mottle Index" can be established to denote Pass, Warning, or Fail thresholds.
