“We were extremely encouraged about the enthusiasm we received from consumers during the initial field trials,” said Troy Russell, Commercial Manager North America, Stickerfix Vehicle Refinishes. “AkzoNobel has taken a bold step in developing a unique product that takes the finish quality of a professional body shop repair straight to the consumer. No other DIY paint solution comes close to the color match, ease, and speed with which consumers can quickly deal with unsightly scratches and chips.”
With stickerfix, minor paint damage disappears in three easy steps:
- Clean – Wipe dirt and grime from the area of application.
- Select and Stick – Select the appropriate size and shape of pre-painted and pre-cut film piece. Peel off and affix the adhesive film to the desired area.
- Smooth – Gently smooth out the area to give it a shiny new look.
Stickerfix is available in 79 premium refinish colors, including select pearls and metallics. Each stickerfix package contains one sheet with 22 pre-selected decals of various shapes and sizes.
Show attendees are invited to visit the exhibit booth and participate in the “How many stickers can you find?” contest. A full-size vehicle will be on display and covered with stickerfix film pieces. Participants will try to find and count the stickers, then enter their closest “guess” for a chance to win an Apple iPad.**
