August 10, 2007

Dear Valued Zolatone Customers and Distributors,

We are pleased to announce that the assets of the Zolatone Automotive, Industrial, and Marine Division of Surface Protection Industries, Inc. have been purchased by Quest Specialty Chemicals, Inc., and will become part of our Advanced Refinish Technologies Division, "A.R.T.", located in Walled Lake Michigan.

A.R.T. - Quest will continue to support existing Zolatone customers, distributors, and will enhance the Zolatone product line and customer service. Business will continue as usual with minimal service disruptions during the short transition of Zolatone's manufacturing and finished goods warehousing. We want to reassure you that this change will be a very positive development for Zolatone customers.

We have acquired Zolatone knowing its unique position in the market, which is characterized by its exceptional flexibility, color match capabilities, and service. We have prepared our manufacturing capability to duplicate this responsiveness and will work hard to earn your confidence. All formulas have been transferred and will be followed using Zolatone's specified production processes and raw materials.

Quest Specialty Chemicals, which is one of the top 30 paint companies in North America, was founded by Mr. Fred Quinn, with financial support from Huron Capital Partners. We invite you to visit Quest's www.questsc.com and Huron Capital's www.huroncapital.com website for additional information on these companies.
