Q. Will the color last?
A. Yes, the colors we use are industrial colors with a sealer integrated into the formula. The colors are not conventionally painted on the surface, therefore our process becomes part of the surface itself. We use an additional industrial sealer over the entire surface to reflect 99% harmful UV rays and protect the overlaid surface from chemical attacks and stains.
