Distributor Product Positioning

Hummingbird 2L 1K Black Stone Chip Coating is a workshop-size automotive refinishing product for importers, body-shop suppliers and aftermarket distributors. It is designed for professional pneumatic-gun application on compatible lower-body repair areas where a black textured protective finish is required.

The 1K format does not require a separate hardener, while the 2 L can is intended for workshops handling repeated wheel-arch, rocker-panel, side-skirt and localized underbody jobs. A 1 L package can be discussed for qualified custom orders.

Portfolio Role

Target Buyers and Sales Channels

• Automotive refinishing distributors
• Collision-repair and body-shop supply companies
• Underbody repair product wholesalers
• Fleet-maintenance procurement teams
• Regional automotive aftermarket brands
• Importers developing a private-label stone-chip coating range

Packaging and Shipping Configuration

Standard Package

2 L per can; 12 cans per carton

Current reference carton dimensions: 46 × 37 × 27.5 cm. Confirm gross weight, net weight, pallet pattern, container loading quantity and final carton dimensions on the quotation for the selected packaging configuration.

Custom Package

1 L packaging can be discussed for qualified custom orders.

Confirm the minimum order quantity, can type, closure, label material, carton specification and production lead time before artwork approval.

OEM and Private-Label Scope

• Brand name and front-label design
• 1 L or 2 L packaging configuration
• Label language and destination-market fields
• Outer-carton artwork and shipping marks
• Product positioning within the buyer's repair range

All artwork claims must match the current formulation, TDS, SDS and destination-market requirements. Terms such as “fast drying,” “waterproof,” “anti-corrosion,” “soundproof,” “OEM equivalent” or exact durability periods should only be printed when supported by applicable test data.

Private-Label Project Workflow

1. Commercial brief: confirm destination, sales channel, package size, forecast and target price level.
2. Technical review: agree on intended substrates, compatible repair system and required performance data.
3. Sample evaluation: test spray behavior, texture, drying and adhesion under representative local conditions.
4. Packaging selection: confirm the can, label, closure, carton and gun compatibility.
5. Document review: confirm SDS, TDS, quality-system and shipping-document requirements.
6. Artwork approval: verify product identity, warnings, claims and market language.
7. Pre-production confirmation: approve the agreed product and packaging reference.
8. Production and inspection: check batch identification, fill, closure, labeling and carton marks.
9. Shipment preparation: finalize packing data and logistics documents.

Buyer Sample Evaluation Checklist

• Appearance and consistency after mixing
• Compatibility with the intended stone-chip gun
• Spray pattern and achievable texture range
• Sag resistance with the planned coat build
• Flash-off and drying under local temperature and humidity
• Adhesion to the intended primer and prepared substrate
• Compatibility with any planned overcoat or refinishing process
• Odor, ventilation and PPE requirements from the SDS
• Can sealing, label adhesion and carton strength
• Batch marking and consistency between sample and production

Claims and Documentation Control

Documents to Request

• Current SDS/MSDS
• Current product TDS
• Applicable company quality-system certificates
• Available sea-freight transportation identification
• Batch or inspection records agreed for the order

Verify document titles, revision dates, issuing bodies, validity periods and the exact entity or product covered. Company ISO certification must not be presented as product certification unless the certificate explicitly supports that interpretation.

Technical Values to Confirm Before Publication

• Recommended gun and nozzle range
• Air pressure and spray distance
• Flash-off, surface-dry and through-dry times
• Coat count, film thickness and theoretical coverage
• Overcoatability and compatible coating systems
• Storage temperature and shelf life
• VOC or regulatory values required by the destination market

Market Application Statement

Recommended wording: 1K black textured stone-chip coating for compatible automotive wheel arches, rocker panels, side skirts and localized underbody repair areas.

Can 1 L packaging be supplied?

A 1 L configuration can be discussed for qualified custom orders, subject to packaging, quantity and production confirmation.

Is private labeling available?

Yes, subject to order volume, technical review, artwork approval and production requirements.

Can distributors claim exact drying time?

Only publish drying values supported by the current TDS or agreed test data, together with the relevant temperature, film build and ventilation conditions.

Which applications should be excluded from the label?

Exclude active-rust treatment, internal cavity protection, structural repair, heat-resistant applications, brake and moving components, and universal substrate compatibility unless separately validated.
