June 8, 2015—3M has announced a partnership with custom car builders, the Ringbrothers.

Ringbrothers, based out of Spring Green, Wis., is owned by Jim and Mike Ring who design and build some of the most sought-after, award-winning street machines. Ringbrothers also offers a line of interior and exterior accessories, along with hardware and body kits.

“We are excited to announce that 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division is partnering with the Ringbrothers, one of the most innovative custom car builders in the world,” said Andrew Boyd, U.S. marketing supervisor, Paint Application Solutions for 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division. “At 3M, we are always looking at how to put our product solutions to work. We’re excited to expand our presence with the Ringbrothers in the dynamic markets for custom car building, automotive DIYers and automotive enthusiasts. We’re proud to have the Ringbrothers as supporters of 3M automotive product solutions, and we look forward to working with them to share their unique skills, passion and vision for turning cars in masterpieces.”

Ringbrothers will use the complete family of 3M product solutions, including abrasives, adhesives, fillers, coatings and sealants, masking solutions, paint application and paint finishing. The brothers will also star in a how-to series for 3M and will join 3M at industry events throughout the year.

“Ever since Mike and I were kids, we used to sneak off to the hardware store to buy 3M tape and sandpaper to work on our first car build in a friend’s chicken coop. After decades of hard work we are still amazed at the reception every one of our builds gets, working hand-in-hand with 3M is a dream come true,” said Jim Ring. “We have always been 3M customers and we look forward to working with them on new products and applications to help car guys around the world build cooler, better cars.”
