Dutch paints and coatings company AkzoNobel has signed an agreement with British automotive manufacturer McLaren Automotive to supply paint offerings for future McLaren road cars.
Under the new agreement, AkzoNobel will offer technology-led paint offerings for the 12C, the 12C Spider, and the McLaren P1.
Since 2008, AkzoNobel has been the official supplier of paint offerings to the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes (VMM) Formula 1 team.
In additon, the paints and coatings company have worked with VMM to develop new paint technology for Formula 1 and other industrial applications.
AkzoNobel CFO Keith Nichols said the extension of its technology partnership to include road cars confirms the company's colour excellence and advanced coatings meet the customer requirements.
"Whether we are perfecting a particular finish or meeting the need for fewer layers of paint, offering a competitive advantage and building strong relationships such as this are vital for our business," Nichols said.
