Airport Paint & Body • November 15, 2019

Whether you need to touch up your car’s appearance after a fender bender or want to refresh its look, the right automotive paint can make all the difference. However, not all paint brands perform equally. Here’s a closer look at why Spies Hecker® stands out from the competition and is the right choice for your vehicle.


The History of Spies Hecker


Spies Hecker is the oldest vehicle paint brand in the world. The company was founded in 1882 and produced paints and varnishes for horse-drawn coaches. It introduced additional vehicle refinishes in the early 1900s, but it wasn’t until 1979 when the company began to supply its products to overseas customers.


The brand continued to innovate with new technical-driven products in the coming years. 1980 saw the introduction of a two-coat system, while 1994 saw the launch of waterborne base coat tech. UV curing products were introduced in 2004, while additional fast-drying and tech-integrated coats have subsequently been implemented, offering further improvements.

The Benefits of Spies Hecker Automotive Paint


Spies Hecker is a popular choice for collision repair specialists because of the high quality of the paint itself. The technology focus in the paint production ensures that the primer, base coat, and clear coats are of the highest available quality. This has resulted in the brand landing original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnerships with top automotive brands like Ford®, GM®, and Nissan®.


A key tool from Spies Hecker is its color-matching technology, which enables technicians to quickly find the exact match for an existing vehicle’s paint. Fast drying and easy sanding help the new paint blend seamlessly with the old.
