Wanda
Wanda, an Akzo Nobel brand since 1974, originated from South America and is currently sold around the world.
Designed for and positioned at the price-conscious “value” segment, Wanda is a complete refinish system offering a complete range of up-to-date prime and variant colors and a comprehensive color documentation and color retrieval program.
Wanda presents a simplified approach for mixing ratios of clear, primer and 2K color and utilizes a universal hardener. Fewer components are needed, helping in the ease of use and reduction of inventory for distributors.
