What do the Shopify data show about the BILKA color corrector?
The color corrector is recorded with 24 Matte/Gloss and RAL color combinations that fully match the "Special paint (spray)" – including SKU and barcodes. The official BILKA page describes a retouch spray for local cut or scratched areas. Therefore, the safest interpretation is a retouch paint, but LATIVA must confirm whether the two Shopify products are the same physical item. No different formula is created just because of the new title.
What types of damage is the BILKA color corrector intended for?
The manufacturer indicates the retouch paint is for small areas where the sheet metal has been cut with an approved tool or the surface is scratched. It serves to restore a close shade, not to repair a hole, deformation, developed corrosion, or missing coating over a large area. Before application, the cause of the damage is determined. If the protective layers are seriously compromised, a technical assessment is needed, not just color correction.
How many variants does the BILKA metal color corrector have?
Shopify lists 24 variants: 10 matte and 14 gloss. Matte / RAL 3005 is SKU LT-2220, and Gloss / RAL 9006 is LT-2219. Not all colors exist in both finishes, so selection is from the actual matrix, not by free combination. The same codes are used for the BILKA spray, which requires checking the physical item before order fulfillment.
Why must both RAL and finish match for the BILKA color corrector?
The RAL code describes the color, but Matte and Gloss reflect light differently and can clearly differ on the same sheet. Additionally, aging and different batches change visual perception. The corrector is chosen based on the coating document and, if possible, tested on a small inconspicuous area. Matching numbers alone do not guarantee invisible retouching, and a screen sample is not a reliable substitute for the physical color.
Can the BILKA color corrector restore factory protection on a deep scratch?
The retouch paint improves local color and protection according to its purpose but should not be presented as a full restoration of the factory multilayer system. For a deep scratch, rust, or heat damage, the zinc layer, edge, and defect area are assessed. The spray does not override the ban on cutting with a grinder and does not automatically restore warranty conditions. Significant damage requires instructions from BILKA.
What must be confirmed before ordering the "Metal Color Corrector"?
LATIVA must confirm whether the product is the same bottle as the "Special paint (spray)," what the packaging size is, how the base is prepared, and the drying conditions. This data is not separately published for the new title. The request includes the exact SKU, RAL, and Matte/Gloss. If the customer expects a pen, brush, or other applicator, this should not be promised because Shopify variants do not describe the packaging form.
