I have worked in the consumer paint and hobby area as a senior chemist developing new paint formulas and color matching various systems. This has included work on air dry lacquers, enamels, and water-based paint systems. I have also worked on automotive touch up paint and even on cosmetic paint systems for personal use. Almost all of this work has been independent and directed by myself and a small management team.
Color & Paint Matching Experience
I have had experience in color matching in various paint formulations (including powder). This includes both X-Rite computer aided color matching as well as matching by eye to adjust production batches of paint. I enjoy working with new formulations as well as optimizing existing paint systems for color and other properties. Some of this work has also involved replacing certain pigments for better cost and other issues sometimes related to supply.

Patented Chemical Formulations
Several years of research developing paint stripping chemical formulations. This involved creating a new, effective, and innovative organic chemical formulation to quickly remove unwanted coatings from automotive and industrial parts. This truly unique chemistry is able to remove extremely tough automotive finishes, leaving the parts ready to be recoated. Unlike older chemical strippers, this material does not attack the substrate and it is also environmentally safe and long lasting. The product is currently being used at multiple locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Taiwan. I hold two US patents on this stripping formulation and process.

Developed & Patented an Effective Paint Stripper
I developed and have two patents on an environmentally safe and effective paint stripper called Recover 5000. This organic based chemistry can remove the strongest automotive or industrial paint or coating with no harm to the underlying metal surface. It is quick and efficient and works on a variety of metals and even plastic materials. This product has been commercially and successfully used since 2003 at multiple locations in the United States and internationally. It continues to be a very safe and economical way to remove unwanted paint from various parts and surfaces.
