Walled Lake, MI – March 22, 2006– Matrix System Automotive Finishes was featured on Detroit’s Fox 2 News as part of a Problem Solver segment that aired during Detroit Autorama on March 3, 2006.

Dan Kamensky, owner of 3D Paint Supplies in Belleville, MI, saw the original Fox 2 Problem Solvers Investigation that reported a poorly applied paint job done on a 1969 Pontiac GTO owned by John Wolgast of Columbus, MI. Kamensky contacted Fox 2 and offered to refinish the vehicle, with help from paint specialists 3D Custom Paint.com of Willis, MI and the Belleville High School Vocational Autobody Program. The car was stripped down and refinished with Matrix System Automotive Finishes primer, premium basecoat, sealer, and clearcoat.

Kamensky and his team completed work on the GTO in three and a half weeks, just in time for an appearance at the Detroit Autorama Show, featured in the Matrix System Automotive Finishes display. Owner Wolgast will also be driving his newly restored GTO as a participating cruiser during Detroit’s Woodward Dream Cruise on Saturday, August 19, 2006. Fox 2 News conducted a follow up report at the Detroit Autorama show that included interviews with Wolgast, Kamensky, and Matrix spokesperson Bevan Perkowski. “This success of this project was a direct result of the tremendous contributions from everyone involved,” said Kamensky, “I couldn’t have asked for a greater end result for our efforts.”

The GTO Problem Solvers project was made possible with contributions from 3D Paint Supplies in Belleville, MI; Matrix System Automotive Finishes in Walled Lake, MI; 3D Custom Paint.com; the Belleville High School Vocational Autobody Program; Auto Trim Design and Striping of Monroe, MI; and PBE Jobbers Warehouse in Livonia, MI.
