"Bunkspeed digital rendering and DuPont color science partnership replaces traditional paint swatch"

Los Angeles, California, August 6, 2007 – Bunkspeed announced today that DuPont Performance Coatings will link its proprietary digital color rendering technologies with Bunkspeed’s digital object rendering software. Now Dupont can give its customers in the transportation and aerospace industries a full understanding of color and paint, and an accurate view of a product in real life environments.

Relying on Bunkspeed’s proven digital technology instead of the traditional 2” by 4” paint chip, DuPont’s customers will be assured they end up with the right paint color every time. This will allow unprecedented confidence in decision-making early in the product design process, and enhance the sales and marketing processes.

Eventually, B2C customers will have the same capability to instantly apply and view dozens of accurate coating colors for themselves.

“DuPont Performance Coatings is thrilled to partner with the leading visualization software developer in the world,” said Dan Benton, DuPont Performance Coatings North America Marketing Manager.“The seamless coupling of digital solutions from Bunkspeed and DuPont will allow designers to accurately render objects and color like never before.”
