Axalta's Cromax® Topcoats Bring Art to Life at New York Fair

Axalta's Cromax® automotive refinish brand was featured in an exhibition by New York-based artist Peter Maier titled Impossibly Real. "I am known as a color specialist," said Maier. "To create incredibly realistic artworks, I use Axalta Cromax coatings to achieve a color depth that I cannot obtain from traditional fine art paints." Unlike paint workshops using these products, I do not mix paint to create color. I start with a black base and add color layers until I reach the desired color and depth. Some of my works have over 100 layers of coating," he added. Troy Weaver, Vice President of Axalta North America Refinish, stated: "We are extremely proud that Peter Maier uses Cromax coating paints to create his masterpieces. His work is a testament to the quality and color capabilities of our products, and it is an honor for us to see our expertise reflected in a fine art exhibition." Axalta has been Maier's exclusive coating supplier for over 25 years. The artist's work includes animals, automobiles, people and products. Maier's works command prices of USD 100,000 and above.
