Richard Petty, famed NASCAR driver and one of the most respected figures in motorsports, has converted Petty’s Garage to BASF 's new R-M Onyx HD waterborne paint. Petty is known in racecar circles for a trademark shade of blue color that is prominent on his racing automobiles. “Petty Blue” was born out of necessity when he ran out of paint and mixed two different colors to finish a job.
Petty’s conversion to R-M Onyx HD waterborne offers customers of the high performance shop a waterborne basecoat system that is in compliance with VOC regulations. The first car to be painted with Onyx HD waterborne at Petty’s Garage is another first: the first Richard Petty Signature Series Mustang.
“The Ford Mustang from Petty’s Garage is a natural progression in the line of performance vehicles tuned by racing’s first family,” said Murray Pfaff of Pfaff Designs, designers of the Richard Petty Signature Series Mustang. “I am proud and honored to create the visual direction for what will undoubtedly be a new legacy for years to come.”

Who would have imagined that more than 100 years after his famous statement about any color as long as it’s black would still have relevance of a sort?

Dear Products Finishing Audience Member:
Starting on Thursday August 8, 2024, PF will begin “gating” its premium content, asking all new website users to provide some information about themselves — name, title, employer, email address — before they are provided free access to the content.
We are doing this because the ways PF’s audience finds and accesses our content is changing. Google’s search algorithms, increasingly, make it difficult to connect PF’s content with the people who might make use of it. On top of that, generative AI like ChatGPT is serving up PF content to internet users without attributing that content to PF.
As a result, it has become increasingly important for PF evolve its audience development strategy and learn as much as possible about who is accessing our content, what content they are accessing and how they are accessing it.
With this audience development strategy, we hope to do two things:
First, we will be better able to deliver directly to our audience the editorial content that aligns with the surface finishing materials, processes and technologies that interest them.
Second, we will be better able to connect the materials, equipment and services our advertisers supply with the audience that is most interested in them.
PF plays a distinctive role and has earned a place of esteem within the focused and specialized industry it serves. Large developments in the media landscape are forcing us to change the way we communicate with our audience. We are confident that our audience values the role PF plays in their professional lives and will join us in this effort to stay connected to them.
We thank you for your continued interest in and support of PF and welcome any questions you might have about the brand’s new content gating strategy.
