How to Correct apply the Colad Spray Sample Holder 931410
Clean hands, safe handling, and structured color matching: This practical guide shows how to efficiently use the Colad Spray Sample Holder for paper and metal samples in everyday workshop routine.
Why a Spray Sample Holder Makes Sense in the Painting Process
When creating color sample cards, it's not just the paint build-up that counts, but also clean, reproducible handling. This is exactly where the Colad Spray Sample Holder 931410 comes in: it holds different samples securely, eases handling during paint application, and simplifies direct color comparison on the vehicle part.
Especially in workflows involving multiple comparison samples, a holder saves time, reduces contact with the fresh sample, and brings more calm to the process. This makes it particularly interesting for professional users who require consistently clean sample surfaces.

Recommended Basic Settings
Important: The technical data sheet of the holder does not specify specific nozzle, pressure, or flash-off values. The Spray Sample Holder is a handling tool, not an application device. Therefore, the following points apply only as guidelines for the work setup and must always be adapted to the paint material, gun, sample carrier, and manufacturer specifications.
| Area | Guideline / Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Choose sample carrier | Use paper or metal samples depending on the comparison goal; metal samples can be guided securely via the magnet |
| Paint setting | Always set according to the data sheet of the paint material used, not according to the holder |
| Work guidance | Guide samples calmly, evenly, and at a constant angle to create reproducible comparison surfaces |
| Cleanliness | Before and after spraying, move the sample only via the holder as much as possible to minimize contact with the painted surface |
| Color control | Compare samples according to the intended process stage, i.e., appropriate to the respective layer sequence and drying phase |
Professional Workflow in 6 Steps
- Select suitable sample carrier: Decide in advance whether paper or metal samples are better suited to the paint build-up and the desired comparison situation.
- Insert sample securely: Place paper samples cleanly; stabilize metal samples additionally via the magnet function.
- Prepare workplace: Set paint material, gun, and spray sequence according to material specifications. The holder only ensures the safe handling of the sample.
- Paint the sample: Guide the sample calmly and without unnecessary hand changes. This keeps the coating surface clean and the application reproducible.
- Perform comparison on the vehicle part: Use the holder to bring the sample toward component edges, curves, or adjacent areas in a controlled manner.
- Label and store sample: Secure samples in an orderly fashion after comparison so that subsequent adjustments or approvals remain traceable.
Troubleshooting: Typical Problems and Appropriate Measures
1. Sample slips during spraying
Insert paper samples cleanly, position metal samples correctly on the magnet, and check the fit briefly before the spray pass.
2. Fingerprints on the sample
Move the sample consistently using the holder, keep intermediate storage areas clean, and avoid contact with the painted surface.
3. Color comparison feels uncertain
Compare sample and vehicle part in the appropriate process state and with identical viewing logic, rather than evaluating too early.
4. Workflow becomes unsteady
Sort samples, cards, and comparison parts in advance. A lightweight holder only brings speed if the workflow is prepared just as cleanly.
Maintenance and Handling
- Regularly remove overspray and dust after use.
- Keep the magnetic surface clean so that metal samples remain securely fixed.
- Store the holder in a dry place to keep the surface clean in the long term.
- Briefly check for deformations or loose attachments before each application.
- Use only with suitable spray samples and do not misuse as a lever or clamping tool.
