NISSAN’S WATER-BASED
ECO-PAINT GOES AFTERMARKET
Nissan Motor Co., has released its envi-ronment-friendly, water-based paints
for aftermarket application, under the

marketplace emits less odors, according to the company. Initially, the paint
will be available in limited range of two
shades of silver, with more colors to be
introduced by April 2009.
The new Natura family from Benjamin Moore includes a primer plus three sheens—flat,
eggshell and semi-gloss.
Natura is the new zero-VOC premium
interior paint that recently has been
added to the stable of environmentally
responsible paints and coatings produced by Benjamin Moore. Natura is
just now making its debut on the West
Coast and in select regions such as the
Rocky Mountain States and parts of the
Deep South, and is expected to have full
national distribution by March 2009.
Unlike any other zero-VOC paints,
Natura is available in thousands of
hues and a wide range of sheens,
according to the company.
The VOC level of Natura is unaffected
by the addition of colorant because the
paint is based on Benjamin Moore’s
patented waterborne colorant system.
In fact, Natura is available in all of
Benjamin Moore’s nearly 3,500 colors,
and it can be limitlessly color-matched
to one’s personalized color choice and
