Automotive Art launches in the Dominican Republic.

Barbadian firm Automotive Art continued its expansion drive with the appointment of wholesaler JDP Global Group Import and Export as its paint distributor in the Dominican Republic.

The company has been the Dominican distributor for Meguiar’s automotive products which are distributed across the Caribbean by Automotive Art. The strong relationship developed in the distribution of Meguiars products has now been expanded to include the Automotive Art Refinishing System of automotive paint and ancillary products.

“Many of the body shop professionals who were at the launch were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product, which is superior to the lacquer based technology and the urethane system currently that are common in the market; overall it was positive all round,” said Alberto Martinez, Sales Manager for Automotive Art.

The Automotive Art paint line was recently launched to body shops and sub distributors in the Dominican Republic and met with rave reviews. Much of the automotive paint used in the Dominican Republic is still based on older lacquer technology, which is notoriously difficult to work with and match all the colours.

The Automotive Art product was greeted with enthusiasm by all of the body shop professionals present at the launch. They were particularly impressed with how easy colour matching was with the product.

Automotive Art is a Barbadian owned franchise chain that sells automotive aftermarket products in 25 countries across the Caribbean and Latin America. The company’s own brand of automotive paint and ancillary products successfully competes directly with global brands of paint across the region through a network of nine franchisees and 16 distributors.
