For the second year in a row, AkzoNobel Automotive & Aerospace Coatings (A&AC) will be at the Geneva Motor Show exhibiting stickerfix™, the smart do-it-yourself solution for minor paint damage. And for the second year in a row, it will be teaming up with Rinspeed, the Swiss concept car creator, which celebrates its 33rd anniversary with the unveiling of a lifestyle concept car called the “BamBoo”.
stickerfix™ is an ultra-thin high-tech adhesive film coated with a perfect match of the original car color, using high-quality automotive paint just like the original. Not only is it the only DIY solution that uses the original paint for a perfect match, but it also offers unrivalled ease of use. All that is required to complete the repair is to clean the damaged area, apply the sticker, and smooth it down. The damage vanishes, with no need for brushes, spray cans, or hit-or-miss touch-up pens.
A&AC will be sharing a stand in Geneva with Rinspeed. As usual, Rinspeed founder Frank M. Rinderknecht has come up with something highly unusual: a tiny electric-powered car that is part dune buggy, part oversized golf cart, and part urban mini-car. The BamBoo is an open-topped four-seater that evokes memories of the seventies and images of a seaside resort. A&AC provided the innovative colors and integrated stickerfix™ into the design to offer protective properties to the vulnerable sections of the car such as door edges. “AkzoNobel and Rinspeed have an outstanding reputation for innovation – together we make a pretty formidable team”, says Phil Coady, A&AC Marketing Director for the EMEA region.
