Nippon Paint, Asia’s leading paint manufacturer in partnership with Southern Railway, today announced that they have beautified SBC Double Decker Express which will ply between Chennai and Bengaluru. Each of the eight compartments are wrapped with artworks spotlighting key landmarks of Chennai and Bengaluru and serve as a reminder of the rich cultural fabric of both cities.
The artworks in the compartment’s interiors take the passengers on a tour of Nippon Paint India’s brand journey – from being the first manufacturing company in India to receive both GreenCo and Green Pro certification to the advanced features of Nippon Paint’s products and Nippon paint’s nshakti initiative for women painters. All through the artworks in the compartment’s exteriors, Nippon Paint’s brand mascot ‘Blobby’ is portrayed in various avatars in a train journey; from an idli seller on a train to a station master. Passengers will also be able to catch a glimpse of the all-time favourite CSK blobby and the recently launched RCB blobby.
Passengers traveling on the SBC Double Decker Express that runs between Chennai (06075) and Bengaluru (06076) will be able to experience the train’s fresh look. From Chepauk Stadium to Valluvar Kottam, from Thiruvalluvar statue to Auroville Dome, and from Mysore Palace to Lal Bagh, the train proudly bears images of unique and iconic structures that gives Tamil Nadu and Karnataka its characteristic charm.
