The Stardust pro brand

StardustColors SAS is a French paint manufacturer founded in 2009. The activity already existed in 2006 and originally focused on vehicle customization, that is to say the application of decor, graphic type, freehand art drawing, of which the Stardust pro artistic airbrush paints are today the descendants, quite naturally, because for the Stardust company, the core business is above all "painting Custom”. Originally, the company was largely involved in body painting and favored the manufacture of solvent-based paints for professionals. It is true that since the 2000s, most artists, specializing in bodywork decoration, have left aside these solvent paints to turn to new high quality acrylics. These water-based paints can be used for bodywork, they have excellent durability, perfect UV resistance and they withstand varnishing with solvent-based varnishes.
Stardust naturally wanted to offer its own range of paints to water in 2016. The objective was of course to regain a market share held by European or American companies, but above all to bring its own touch to a world lacking in innovation and originality.
It is its know-how that Stardust wanted to bring, with in particular the conversion of all paints and special effects, from solvent-based formulas to water-based paints, that the Stardust team was keen to create in order to to make them known to as many people as possible.

Stardust pro, the airbrush paint brand

Indeed, it can be clearly said that the magnificent special effect paints have suffered from their harmfulness in the past, which has prevented them from becoming known and democratized in the world of decoration.
A large number of users, individuals, professionals, artists of all kinds, or simply curious creative people are fond of new color effects and the appearance of special effect paints from the world of bodywork and now available in a water-based version, easy to apply, and non-harmful, have enabled production of the Stardust PRO range to take off.

For specialists in the manufacture of solvent-based paints, the world of water-based paint represents a completely different world. The particularities and the many specificities of these paints, with their simple appearance, gave a lot of work to the team of colourists and Stardust chemists.
It was necessary to find dyes and pigments that were resistant to both sun and weather, but compatible in all water-based paints, to create reliable and stable paints over time for any use, whether decoration, architecture or decoration on vehicle.

Today, Stardust has become one of the best European specialists in the production of high performance water-based paints. It now comes to compete with the world's biggest brand, with the new HIKARI formulas, which represent quite exceptional innovations in the world of water-based paint.
These spray paints show the outstanding performance, while completely comparable in the speed of drying or the resistance, with the classic solvent-based paints.
Stardust has also worked a lot on the adhesion capacities on the different supports and thanks to its customers and partners, it has studied and produced hundreds of tests, to reach the level of requirement required by all customers and applicators specialized in their respective fields.

Stardust Pro : the future of painting

Aware of climate issues, and above all ethical, because nothing says that man is responsible for climate change in truth, and nothing says that there is really an increase in temperatures.
However , Stardust has for some years realized that it is necessary to evolve and improve, not only to improve security for the use of individuals, but also to make a gesture at the ecological level, starting the complete transition from old solvent-based paints to new water-based paints.
All this of course depends on the progress of technologies, chemistry, paint and this is made possible by the many partnerships of the Stardust company , which wishes to elevate its brand to a global level, both in terms of color quality, paint quality, and respect for our magnificent planet.
Thus, it is planned, over the next few years, to convert the set of p solvent-based products, as much as possible, towards new solvent-free formulas.

Constant innovation, hallmark of a company

Creation and passion are the engine, the fuel of a lively young company. On the contrary, resting on one's achievements, ignoring the competition or innovations, are signs of a company on the decline.
It is above all with the desire, the love and the passion for the color and paint effects, which can be allowed to blow the wind in the sails of the company, in order to go as far as possible in the field of color, whatever it is. This is how the Hikari brand, the new family of Stardust Pro airbrush paints, represents the fruit of enormous work, not only in the search for colors, but above all in performance, in terms of flexibility, resistance, to facilitate application and grip.
It is by working closely with its customers and listening to their requests, and of course also by working very hard, that the company has been able to innovate and succeed in the various challenges that have come his way.
