Abstract: A method for simulating the final finish of a multi-component finish material comprises submitting or receiving a request describing a desired single or multicolor surface appearance in a finish simulator to generate one or more simulated appearance samples, obtaining feedback on said simulated appearance sample and, if necessary, modifying said sample to simulate said desired surface appearance. The finish simulator comprises a library of finish templates that have been produced and software or processing means to apply rules to adjust the simulated finish for known changes in chemistry, composition, and application conditions. In addition, the appearance of an actual multicolor sample is reproduced by separating the sample into areas of different individual colors, identifying the individual color of each of said areas, translating said individual area colors into color values that correspond to those in a database of colors that have been produced, and searching the database for existing colors that are close matches for those in the sample. The final finish of the closely matching colors is preferably simulated and assessed electronically using a finish simulator. The method of the present invention reduces the total time necessary to generate a multi-component color finish to match a given sample and can eliminate the need for making trial finishes in assessing color finishes for matching.

Abstract translation: 一种用于模拟多组分整理材料的最终光洁度的方法包括在完成模拟器中提交或接收描述期望的单色或多色表面外观的请求以生成一个或多个模拟外观样本，获得关于所述模拟外观样本的反馈， 如果需要，修改所述样品以模拟所述期望的表面外观。 完成模拟器包括已经生产的完成模板库，以及软件或处理手段来应用规则来调整化学，组成和应用条件中已知变化的模拟完成。 另外，通过将样本分离成不同单独颜色的区域，识别每个所述区域的单独颜色，将所述各个区域颜色转换成与颜色数据库中的颜色值对应的颜色值来再现实际多色样本的外观 已经生成，并在数据库中搜索与样本中的那些匹配的现有颜色。 优选地使用完成模拟器以电子方式模拟和评估紧密匹配的颜色的最终完成。 本发明的方法减少了生成多组分颜色整理以匹配给定样品所需的总时间，并且可以消除在评估用于匹配的颜色完成时进行试验完成的需要。
