Introduced this month throughout AkzoNobel’s Northam American distributor network, stickerfix harnesses the quality of the Sikkens and Lesonal brand waterborne and solvent-based coatings used during the car repair, with a quick, clean and easy method for collision repair customers to touch up minor paint damage any time they need it. Tested in a variety of extreme conditions for durability and with unlimited shelf life, AkzoNobel says the product surpasses other DIY options on the market today.

 

“We are extremely pleased to provide this cutting-edge paint solution to the collision repair industry and their customers,” said Laura Costello, AkzoNobel’s A&AC Director of Marketing, North America. “Painters simply spray the exact coating used during the refinish phase of the car repair onto a single ultra-thin adhesive sheet. Once dry, the sheet is inserted into an attractive mirror hanger sleeve, along with a stencil containing different sizes and shapes, and instructions to the customer for easy application. Used as a unique value-added perk, stickerfix can go a long way in helping shops retain customer loyalty and a reputation for service excellence.”

 

With stickerfix, minor paint damage disappears in three steps:

 

• Clean – Wipe dirt and grime from the area of application. 

• Cut and Stick – Using the provided stencil, trace the desired shape on reverse side of film with pen or pencil. Cut out the traced shape using sharp scissors. Affix the adhesive film to the desired area.

• Smooth – Gently smooth out the area to give it a shiny new look.       

 

Costello adds, “The feedback we received from shops during the testing of stickerfix actually exceeded our expectations. The concensus? No other DIY paint solution comes close to the color match, ease and speed with which consumers can extend the life of their paint finishes.” 

 

Stickerfix can be coated with Sikkens Autowave and Autobase Plus, or Lesonal WB and SB systems.
