Color Wheel Paint Expands into North Carolina with Paints Made for Southeast Climate

ORLANDO, March 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Color Wheel Paint, a leading manufacturer of paint and industrial coatings and part of the global Comex Group, announced its expansion into North Carolina which marks significant growth and geographic expansion for the Florida-based brand. Color Wheel Paint offers popular paints such as Flex Lox, Optima and Tropicoat, specialty lines such as UltraCrete and Texturi and a complete line of industrial coatings. All Color Wheel products are designed and tested for durability in the hot, humid climate of the Southeast – where other paints commonly fail due to mildew and fading.

The expansion will be made official on April 2, 2012 with the opening of a company-owned Color Wheel Paint store in Raleigh, NC. The company has seen a growing demand for its paint products in this market as well as encouraging overall economic growth.

"Our expansion into the Raleigh-Durham area makes perfect sense for the company and its growth plans," said Josh Kern, Executive Vice President of Stores, Marketing and Real Estate. "By expanding our geographic footprint, we can better serve our existing customer base in Raleigh as well as cultivate this new market with paints made for the Southeast climate. We see great potential for increased growth in this region."

The new Color Wheel Paint store is located at 5301 Capital Boulevard, at the intersection of Capital Boulevard and Trust Drive, just one mile south of Interstate 540. For more information, visit the Color Wheel Paint website: www.colorwheel.com.
