ColorBond Paint has announced Carlos Medrano as the winner of the 2018 ColorBond CLeo Award. The award recognizes individuals who have shown excellence using ColorBond car interior paint to restore or restyle the interior of an automobile. The company said the results Medrano achieved using ColorBond LVP Refinisher were beautiful and that they are truly honored that Medrano chose ColorBond to help convey his artistic expression.

Medrano refinished a 2013 Honda Civic Si with an interior that was originally real and black but has since been updated to white. In 2016 Carlos won the CLeo Award with this same car. Medrano was able to paint the ColorBond LVP Refinisher on top of that previously existing without any build-up or loss of surface detail.

“Thank you for the opportunity that ColorBond gave me. It was a pleasure and honor to represent the company once again. And the icing on the cake is being the proud recipient of the CLeo award for a second time. It’s priceless,” said Medrano.

Leo is 102 years old and continues to work for ColorBond Automotive Paint. Past CLeo Award winners are Ken Bolen, Jay Van Houten, Carlos Medrano and Eddie Black.
