The latest Land Rover Defender (winner of the 2021 World Car Design of the Year at the Annual World Car Awards) features satin-matte finishes from AERO Sustainable Material Technology Inc. (Columbus, Ohio).
AERO says its satin-matte finishes are one of a kind; composed of a unique surface structure that is inherently satin-matte by design, with no additives needed, enabling a lasting quality finish. Traditional, spray-application paints require additives to achieve a matte look, which risks staining and extensive maintenance. AERO enables motor vehicle companies like Jaguar Land Rover to deliver a lasting finish with ultra-durability and self-healing properties, while reducing its environmental impact.
AERO claims its finishes produce zero CO2, are free from VOCs, PVC, and solvents, and require no water during manufacturing, application, and usage.
“The Land Rover Defender is known for its all-terrain capabilities and off-road style, and AERO finishes provide earth friendly durability,” says AERO CEO Jim McGuire.
