Valspar Automotive Summer Classes Cover Refinish Systems

All training curriculum covers hands-on application and classroom learning for water and solvent technologies as well as color theory.

 

This summer, Valspar Automotive will continue to offer I-CAR-certified training for refinishers at its centers in the Dallas area, Detroit and Sacramento, Calif.

All training curriculum covers hands-on application and classroom learning for water and solvent technologies as well as color theory.

“Our training courses cover both paint and process,” said Valspar Automotive Technical Director Gary Kilby. “The goal is to help our students, collision repair professionals of all levels of experience, work toward achieving that invisible repair. We show them how the latest products and systems work, and how implementing process impacts and benefits quality, output, productivity and profitability.”
