Paint is Dead collaborates with APA Americas to create a new ‘Signature Line’ of films.

The new Paint is Dead, Signature Line of films with APA World wide (Evolv Motor, in the US) launch with a bang at MetroWrapz in Hollywood Florida this year! The first color launch was a deep red, gloss metallic film that is iconically named #DeadRed. The color filled a void, or rich metallic red, finished with one of the best gloss finishes on the market! APA did an amazing job formulating a color that only carried the flagship ‘Red’ color synonymous with the Paint is Dead brand, but did it with such class that is has become a legendary color, since it’s launch.

Paint is Dead’s vision of the Signature Line of film was to bring the buyer an ‘experience’ in film buying, and that is vastly apparent from the time the custom designed box walks into your shop. Hand created by Bruno Dede Jr (of MetroWrapz fame) the custom art is the image of #DeadRed and compliments the deep, rich, Red Metallic color, with bold and bright colors! The experience doesn’t stop there, as you get a hand signed poster with the purchase, along with a custom lapel pin. APA Americas spared no expense when it came to the creating, and new standard of custom films within the market!

As we move forward look for more custom colors to come out of this match made in the wrap’isphere combining great films, and finish with the single most recognized name in the industry!

PID Merch was created to allow wrap installers, and individuals that love the wrap concept to share the Paint is Dead mantra with the world!
