Dear Valued Partner,
I am writing to inform you about changes that are taking place at the Testor 
Corporation. For over 80 years, we have provided premium paints and finishing 
systems to the craft and hobby industry. Today, we announced that we are 
transforming our business in order to more effectively address the changing 
needs of our consumers and their interests.
We’ve made the decision to exit the following businesses within the Testor® 
Brand family - Pactra®, Floquil®, Polyscale®, and ColorArtz®. This will enable 
the Testor Corporation to return to our foundation of success – providing 
premium, innovative product that inspires creativity. We will continue to 
accept orders and ship product for a limited time based on available quantities.
Going forward, the following brands will be critical to our success and 
development – Testor®, Model Master™, and Aztek®. These brands will be infused 
with marketing support, innovation and operational efficiencies.
In support of this, we have announced a consolidation of operations at our 
Rockford facilities. Over the next several months we will provide updates 
critical to your order and delivery needs as well as product availability. We 
assure you there will be no disruption to service during this transition.
Our commitment to the Testor brand has never been stronger. By implementing 
these changes, and the ability to leverage all of Rust-Oleum’s world class 
services, we are more strongly poised to take your business to the next level 
through product and merchandising innovations, and increased customer intimacy. 
Please contact me or your sales manager directly with any questions.
We appreciate your business!
Best Regards,
Kristin J. Schiro
Director of Sales & Marketing
