The European Coatings Journal (English language) (and Farbe und Lack (German language)) offers a print advertising program. If you're interested in submitting for an editorial topic, a vetting process is utilized - reviewed via abstract submission by the editorial team and are independent of advertising. This keeps the high-level technical integrity of the journal(s) intact. Editorial submission guidelines can be provided.
