Robby Gordon Motorsports Announces New Primary Sponsor





PLANET COLOR® TO ‘ORBIT’ THE TRACK AT NEXT NASCAR RACE,

THE SHARPIE 500 ON AUGUST 23



Custom Color System To Illuminate Robby Gordon’s No. 7 Dodge

Under the Lights At Bristol



Warrensville Heights, OH – There will be a new look under the lights at this Saturday’s (August 23rd, 2008) NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at the Bristol Motor Speedway on Robby Gordon’s No. 7 car – his Dodge will feature the logo and shimmering brilliant look of Planet Color® the custom color paint system from Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes Corp. (SWAFC).



Gordon, a three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race winner, has used the brand’s coatings for years. Now, for this race, his car will host the gleaming Planet Color orange logo and be joined by that of Barrett-Jackson (the leading specialist in providing products and services to classic and collector car owners and automotive enthusiasts around the world), along with the team’s No. 7. As a result, their trademark brands will all be featured against the completely flat-black Charger’s color scheme as it circles the short Tennessee oval in front of more than 160,000 ardent race fans.



Planet Color has been a tremendous hit among custom automotive enthusiasts, painters and shop owners alike for several years now. Made from a series of optimally enhanced coatings containing special combinations of highly reflective additives, Planet Color offers stunning, radical, multi-dimensional finishes that are color shifting, iridescent, illuminated and shimmering in their texture.



“We appreciate the opportunity to be featured on the car of a champion like Robby Gordon with this special one-time ‘unveiling’ of Planet Color at a popular venue like the Bristol Speedway,” said David Kidd, SWAFC OEM Business Development Manager/Planet Color. “It’s a great chance to show over 100,000 fans in the stands, and millions more at home, that Planet Color finishes offer unparalleled durability and limitless color possibilities, and its two- and three-coat applications boast results limited only by the imagination.”



With Planet Color, custom painters can mix as little, or as much paint, for their exact customization project needs, and because of its refined repeatability it guarantees an exact match every time.



Planet Color's complete automotive paint system is easy to apply because the optically enhanced additives are used in conjunction with the entire Planet Color program for a perfect finish. The result is when these coatings are sprayed, their additives create a reflective, scattered effect offering vibrant color and clarity

sweet!
Looks sharp too:


Hey, that logo on the hood looks kind of familiar, doesn't it?
That looks like it's going to stand out under the lights!
Good find Alan.
Yep, one race it appears, as Offspring points out. Good results may yield more though...
Thats Awesome
Question - What is the significance of the Oct 16 - 18 date in Las Vegas and Motorsports?

The only big conference scheduled for this Oct 16 is the Direct Marketing Assoc.
There's a Barrett-Jackson car auction at the Mandalay Bay that weekend. First time Barrett-Jackson is in Vegas, I believe.
Hey Alan.. Thanks for the additional info. Maybe he can pull in some of the other Barrett-Jackson TV sponsors as additional associates when they run their auctions. It seems there are 4 or 5 major B-J auctions a year and would be a good partial sponsor.

BTW, my son came up with a 'It gives new meaning to the Gordons trading paint'.
Yeah, it does. Trading paint - that's good.
as long as he not sniffing the paint
you don't sniff the paint, you sniff the lacquer thinner or the enamel reducer....
Hey! it sorta looks like I am sponsoring the car this weekend. Too funny ! Except my logo blows away Planet Color's...lol...thanks Bruno. Looks like they should have contacted you to design it for them as well.
