European Aerosols awarded TecDoc Premier Data Supplier status

Published on:

We are proud to announce that all four of our TecDoc brands (ColorMatic, DUPLI-COLOR, MOTIP and presto) have achieved the prestigious Premier Data Supplier status. This is the highest recognition possible within the TecDoc system, and one that is only granted to around 30% of all data suppliers. It reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and high data quality.

A year ago, we saw opportunities to further improve the quality of our TecDoc data for our customers. We acted on this, and today we’re proud to see that our commitment has led to remarkable progress and stronger results.

Why TecDoc Matters

TecDoc is a leading global automotive data platform managed by TecAlliance. It provides standardized, up-to-date vehicle and product data that helps aftermarket suppliers, distributors, and workshops identify the right parts quickly and accurately.

For customers who use TecDoc to manage product information, build catalogues or power digital platforms, our Premier Data Supplier status means:

  • More accurate and complete product data
  • Improved visibility and easier product identification
  • A more reliable and professional foundation for your own systems

With this improvement, we’re helping our partners save time, reduce errors, and work more efficiently.

Looking Ahead

While the Premier Data Supplier status is an important achievement, we’re continuing to improve. Next on our roadmap:

  • Integration of technical and safety data sheets
  • Inclusion of colour codes for vehicles
  • Addition of safety symbols and hazardous materials information

How to find a car paint colour code

Need to know the colour of your car? It’s actually located on your car. Even if two paint colours look the same, car manufacturers make loads of different exterior paint colours and they can all vary from year to year, so you need to make sure the code is right to get an exact paint match. Find out below where you can find your car’s colour.

Your car brand

Car example

Most common places

The image above shows the most common places where you can find your colour code. If you select your car brand you will see a specific image containing the locations for your vehicle.

Variation

Car manufacturers have different production series where they might use paints from different paint manufacturers. Therefore, it can occur there are slight changes in colour shade under the same car colour code. To supply everyone, MOTIP makes these variations available. Is there a check mark visible in this column? This means you have a colour code with variations. The differences are small. However, they may be noticeable. We simply cannot say precisely which article best matches the colour of your car. In this case, we’d recommend you check the colour chart at a shop. If you do want to try, always spray a small sample to check if the colour matches the colour of the car.
