Requested edit[edit]

I am a representative from Axalta Coating Systems, and we have concerns regarding the neutrality of this page. This page focuses on Axalta's involvement in motorsports. However, that is a small fraction of what Axalta does, and this page's content should reflect the company in its entirety.

Other edits that would improve the accuracy and quality of this article include:

Axalta Coating Systems is more than just an "auto painting company"; Axalta provides products for original equipment manufacturers, commercial vehicles, refinish shops, and industrial applications.
Although Axalta's global headquarters are in Philadelphia, PA, Axalta is a global company that operates in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
Axalta's history dates back to 1866 with the founding of its first products. There are many additional milestones that should be acknowledged due to their importance to Axalta Coating Systems and the coatings industry.
On November 12, 2014, Axalta completed its IPO on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:AXTA).
The "Products" section features four products; this is not representative of the many products Axalta has within its four business segments.
Axalta's sustainability record is not mentioned, and this is information that readers would like to see.

With these edits, this article's content will be accurate and provide readers with important information about Axalta Coating Systems.

The requests are appreciated. However, the main problem is that without a reliable source, some can't be entered without having to focus on primary sources. That's why Motorsports is such a large section, since the sponsorships are mentioned frequently in sources like Foxsports.com and the Phoenix Business Journal. If you can find some of these, it would make the editing much easier. Zappa 24 Mati 17:39, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
