Colad

Colad is a brand of products for paint professionals, with tools for masking, painting and protection as well as sanding, mixing and paint processing. It is one of three specialist brands within EMM International, alongside Finixa and Hamach, which EMM distributes from Zwolle in the Netherlands and its global branches. EMM and its brands are part of PPG, and Colad says it works with the paint processing industry to create smart and technical solutions for paint application, with paint professionals and the quality of their work at the centre.

The Drivers HQ stocks two Colad product lines for paint and bodywork preparation. Aqua Dynamic Masking Tape comes in 19mm, 25mm, 38mm and 50mm widths, each on a 50m roll, so you can match the tape to the edge, trim or panel you are masking. Colad Waterproof Sanding Sheets are sold here as single sheets in 1000, 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit, giving a step by step choice of wet sanding grades for refining a painted surface before it is polished.

Colad designs its products for paint professionals, and the tape and sheets stocked here also suit enthusiasts carrying out touch ups, small repairs or careful correction work at home. Masking tape protects trim, rubbers and neighbouring panels while you sand, spray or polish, and a clean tape edge gives a neater finished line. Waterproof sheets are used wet to level small paint defects, working from a coarser grit to a finer one before a compound and polish bring back the gloss.

Buy Colad from The Drivers HQ with UK-wide delivery by tracked Royal Mail, or collect your order free of charge from our walk-in store in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. Because the sanding sheets are sold individually, you can pick up only the grits a job needs, add the right width of masking tape and combine them with compounds, polishing pads and microfibre cloths from the rest of our range in a single order.
