Automotive Coatings Recruiter

Our Involvement

Ropella Industry Expertise

For most of us, when we think about our dream car, we also think of the dream car color. Perhaps it’s a Candy-Apple Red Thunderbird, a Hugger Orange Camero, a Fly Yellow Ferrari, a Sassy Grass Green Challenger, a Grabber Blue Mustang, or a Plum-Crazy Purple Charger. According to one survey, approximately a quarter of consumers are willing to pay extra or even switch brands in order to get the color that they want for their automobile.

Automotive coatings have so much more to offer than dazzling color, though. The best coatings keep our cars on the road longer, by offering long-lasting protection from damaging weather, wear, and corrosion. They can also reduce vehicles’ carbon footprint, with new, lighter formulations that reduce weight and improve mileage, in addition to being more eco-friendly themselves.
