SPI News Spring 2011
We are proud to announce 2010 was yet another year of record
growth here at SPI! Sales were up 23% over a record 2009 and we would
like to thank each and every customer and SPI jobber for this tremendous
success.
While the automotive refinish industry is still down 20-30%, we
continue to grow by leaps an bounds in part because there are 1000’s of
positive posts on internet enthusiast message forums regarding our
products. Granted we aren’t a household name, but we have 1000’s of
customers who realize our $90-$150 kits of clear will easily
compete with any competitors $450 kit clear. Sure there are
people that don’t believe we can make such a product for that kind of
money, but they can keep paying major brand prices and wonder why their
paint costs are out of control. Our shops know the truth about SPI
products and actually make a profit on their paint materials.
We recently introduced SPI 6630-4 Red Oxide Epoxy Primer which is
an exact match for the red oxide primer used on 1960’s Fords. This
product may also be tinted slightly to match GM’s primer used in this
era.
While you might be new to this site and SPI, we have been around
since 1997. Being based out of Georgia, in our early days we primarily
focused on the Southeast because it was easily accessible. Today we
have distributors from Ft. Lauderdale to San Francisco to Ontario
Canada.
If you would like to become a SPI jobber give us a call and we’ll
let you know if your territory is open. We offer true protected
territories, we won’t sell PBE warehouses, we offer easily achievable
freight prepaid terms and unlike other companies our ship rate is
99.99%.

This spectacular growth of
