PRESS RELEASE 

SONOMA, California (April 25, 2014)—AERO™ Advanced Paint Technology made its first partnership with a Ferrari Challenge team with Jackie Heinricher, driving the #57 XYZClothing.com, Acque Minerali Ferrari 458 Challenge car.

AERO™ Advanced Paint Technology is an environmentally sustainable film-based paint applique system that provides exceptional aesthetic value, while adding to performance in terms of both reduced weight and enhanced durability over substitute technologies.

Jackie Heinricher, an entrepreneur from Seattle, chose to use an AERO™ film-based paint applique livery based on the weight and durability characteristics of the paint system. However, it was the aesthetic of the livery that stood out. “The car looks great,” Heinricher commented. “So many people have been coming up and asking about the car!” The Starlight Black and Cobalt Blue AERO™ Liquid Metal™ accents gave the car a much more vibrant finish.

“What we did with AERO is truly revolutionary,” said Jim McGuire, CEO of entrotech, Inc., AERO’s parent company. “People can’t believe that we achieve such a high depth of image with our paint film because no one else is doing what we do from a technology standpoint,” McGuire went on, “but it’s paint!”

The partnership between AERO™ Advanced Paint Technology and Jackie Heinricher commenced at the Ferrari Challenge race at Sonoma Raceway in California, nearby the AERO™ Advanced Paint Technology San Francisco office. Ms. Heinricher drove the car in several tests in both wet and dry conditions; qualifying; and two races throughout the weekend, only requiring some quick surface cleaner between stints.

In addition to its performance benefits, AERO™ Advanced Paint Technology™ reduces maintenance time versus ordinary paint. AERO™ film-based paint applique can be applied and stripped in minutes, since it does not require drying. More information on AERO™ Advanced Paint Technology is available at www.rethinkpaint.com.
