Our merchant partner is a leader in automotive restoration. Here's why... Better Than Paint - our mercant partner's Hotcoat powdercoating system revolutionized home workshops in 1997. By bringing an economical and easy to use powdercoating system into the garage, the DIY hobbyist automatically had another alternative to paint - an alternative that was more durable, shinier and easily lent itself to custom work. In September of 1998, our mercant partner received the Pennsylvania Governor's award for "Environmental Excellence" for the HotCoat Powder Coating System. This product, developed exclusively by our mercant partner, was recognized for its low environmental impact. HotCoat also received the Automotive Restoration Market Organization's "Best New Product" award for 1999. In 2003, the introduction of the our mercant partner's Interchangeable English Wheel and Planishing Hammer brought these high-end metal shaping tools to a wider audience. Utilizing a common rigid frame enabled economical manufacture to allow our mercant partner to offer both of these tools for under $1000.00. Our mercant partner's greatest advocate is and has been their customers. By listening to customer needs, our mercant partner has been able to develop better tools, processes and techniques. |
