In Europe, nearly 20 companies share the car paint market, and among the car paint brands, there are mainly multinational companies and a few small or medium-sized European manufacturers: this is the case of Stardustcolors , a French SME that has been manufacturing these products since 2009 in France. Stardustcolors creates one-of-a-kind car paints at their factory in Saint Laurent des Arbres, in the south of France.
The automotive paint market is clearly divided into several areas: there is the supply of automotive coatings for manufacturers, those who manufacture cars in factories and whose paints are applied by robots.
Then there is the supply of paint to applicators "outside industrial installations", this refers to body painters who carry out repairs after the sale of the vehicle. Then there is the online sale to individuals and professionals, this is a niche market, in which the Stardustcolors company is located.
This registered trademark of the French manufacturer of special effect paints has a special meaning that is in perfect harmony with the object of its work and the particular character of these products: in English, Stardust means stardust.
All Stardust products are specially shimmering, glittering or iridescent products. Many paintings have names, whose semantic field is drawn from the cosmos and the stars. This is the case with the Chameleon paintings which call on the names of the constellations for example.
In the field of special effect car paints, the players on the world market can be counted on the finger of one hand. This niche market has allowed Stardustcolors to occupy a leading position in the European market.
Fortunately, protected from its powerful American or Australian competitors, by the border of the oceans, Stardustcolors enjoys excellent and stable growth since its foundation in 2009. The French company Stardustcolors not only manufactures special paints for cars, but also special primers and special varnishes. We understand that it is in specialization and rarity that the French manufacturer Stardust has been able to find its place and its growth force, in a market with very strong competition when it comes to classic automotive paints.
In 2006, the company existed under the name of Magic paint and operated abroad in the Middle East, it was then dedicated to the decoration of vehicles of all kinds.
It was in 2009 that the company becomes a manufacturer of its own products and is based in the Paris region. A victim of rapid success, Stardust regularly changes premises in order to be able to absorb the growth of its activity.
In 2011, she settled in the South of France, in the department of Gard and has since multiplied her products, her novelties and her offers in order to ensure constant growth and not to be dependent a catalog of limited products.
In 2015, a first factory was built, then in 2022, a second building was built: it is an investment and a bet for the future for this small company, despite the unfavorable economic situation both in France and around the world.
The brand's emblematic products are above all the famous Mirror Chrome paint, chameleon paints, Candy paints, ceramic varnish and a few other specialties such as Crystallizer, or rust effect paint.
extent of the ranges of the French brand is quite impressive considering the small size of the company : it is the fruit of incessant and constant work for the research of new products and the creation of new needs for customers.
