About Us: Automotive Paint Types (2007 – Present)

Founded in 2007, Automotive Paint Types (APT) was born out of a passion for cars and an unmet need for comprehensive information on automotive paints. Our journey began with a simple vision: to become the go-to resource for enthusiasts, professionals, and anyone curious about the diverse world of car paint. Over the years, we’ve grown from a modest blog into a vibrant online community, driven by our commitment to providing unbiased, accurate, and reliable information.
