I am wanting to start a company that refinishes new automotive products (paints, textures, etc.) and resells them on a website.
Example:
- Buy "Brand X" alloy wheel (car rim) off the shelf.
- Refinish the product in a finish the product did not originally come in.
- Sell it on my website as "[My Brand Name] [Brand X] alloy wheel".
Is this legal?
I am purchasing the product, so I would technically own the product at that point. I am crediting the original creator. I am not changing the formula of the product. I would think this is legal, but would like clarification.
