Abstract
Apparatus for coloring paint base material comprises a plurality of container assemblies mounted for indexing movement along a path of travel. A dispensing station is provided adjacent the path of travel. The container assemblies include metering apparatus to discharge preselected amounts of colorant into a container of paint base material. Valves on the container assemblies block the discharge of colorant material from the metering apparatus. Meter actuating and valve actuating apparatus is provided at the dispensing station for automatically dispensing metered colorants into passing containers of paint base material, according to formulae stored in the apparatus.
