House of Kolor founder Jon Kosmoski sits down with Jay Sicht, editor-in-chief of FenderBender, for a wide-ranging conversation about 70 years of custom paint innovation. From painting motorcycle parts in his mother's basement to building one of the most recognized names in custom refinish, Kosmoski traces the journey that turned a personal passion into an industry-defining brand. 

The discussion covers the development of House of Kolor's signature kandy paint system, the breakthrough encapsulation process that made flake and pearl base coat application accessible to a wider range of painters and the decision to use only organic pigments at a time when no other manufacturer was doing so. Kosmoski also shares how early relationships with Honda dealers, West Coast distributors and high-profile clients helped expand the brand's reach across North America. 

Whether you're a professional painter, a builder or a custom enthusiast, this conversation is packed with insight from one of the industry's true originals. Watch the full video to hear the complete story, then visit www.houseofkolor.com for more information.
