Garmat USA announced the winners of their 2015 Sharp Shooter Contest. This contest was designed to recognize quality paint techs and shop owners who use Garmat equipment. Judging was based on the shop owner and paint tech’s dedication to providing quality paint jobs, superior customer service, attention to safety and overall equipment knowledge. Additional questions included an inquiry on how Garmat could improve their Garmat experience with product improvements.

One winner, Valentin Perez, from Toyota of Dallas, won a trip for two to SEMA 2015. Perez was accompanied by his wife, Maria. In addition to the trip, Perez was awarded a SATA Jet 5000 HVLP Paint Gun, 3M backpack, Garmat Sharp Shooter cap, a Samsung tablet, $500 and a Sharp Shooter Award certificate.

Five finalists were also awarded two Samsung Galaxy tablets (one for the contestant and one for the owner/manager), a 3M backpack, a Sharp Shooter hat and a Sharp Shooter Award certificate. The top two finalists were each awarded SATA 5000 HVLP paint guns in addition to their prize package.

“On behalf of Garmat USA, I would like to personally thank all of the contestants for taking the time to send in or post your applications,” said Johan Huwaert, general manager of Garmat USA. “Having the opportunity to hear your thoughts and suggestions about our paint booths is a priceless opportunity in helping us develop products that truly meet the needs of our customers.”
