LOS ANGELES, CA UNITED STATES
    LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Bunkspeed announced today that
DuPont Performance Coatings will link its proprietary digital color
rendering technologies with Bunkspeed's digital object rendering software.
Now DuPont can give its customers in the transportation and aerospace
industries a full understanding of color and paint, and an accurate view of
a product in real life environments.

    Relying on Bunkspeed's proven digital technology instead of the
traditional 2" by 4" paint chip, DuPont's customers will be assured they
end up with the right paint color every time. This will allow unprecedented
confidence in decision-making early in the product design process, and
enhance the sales and marketing processes.
    Eventually, B2C customers will have the same capability to instantly
apply and view dozens of accurate coating colors for themselves.
    "DuPont Performance Coatings is thrilled to partner with the leading
visualization software developer in the world," said Dan Benton, DuPont
Performance Coatings North America Marketing Manager. "The seamless
coupling of digital solutions from Bunkspeed and DuPont will allow
designers to accurately render objects and color like never before."
    After extensive research to find the right technology partner, DuPont
concluded that Bunkspeed's user friendly software will save customers
considerable time and money by allowing them to accurately visualize new
colors and material concepts. The ability to instantly create marketing
imagery will eliminate much of the need for expensive physical prototypes,
and result in dramatic reductions in cycle time.
    Mr. Benton affirmed that the software's exceptional speed and accuracy
will help DuPont's customers "streamline product development, and improve
marketing communications -- enabling faster and more insightful decisions."
    Bunkspeed CEO Philip Lunn stated: "We're extremely pleased to be the
technology partner of coatings industry leader DuPont Performance Coatings
to take advantage of their color science initiatives. This is an excellent
demonstration of two companies in different industries coming together to
deliver a rendering software solution that customers have needed for many
years."
    To experience the first implementation of Bunkspeed's partnership with
DuPont, visit Bunkspeed's booth #1110 at the upcoming Siggraph 2007, August
