“We are pleased to support the Collision Repair Education Foundation and the recipient schools,” said Ray Odette, managing partner, Anest Iwata. “Paints today rely heavily on proper spraying equipment for color match, appearance and coating utilization. With changes in coatings and color combinations at the OEM level, it is important to get our message and our technology to the schools on the front line.”
