Making a buck on a paint job hasn’t gotten any easier. When it comes to paint, those costs have been passed on from ingredient makers to paint manufacturers to jobbers to shops. Unfortunately, it’s as difficult as ever to pass those increases on to customers, especially if you’re doing insurance work.

It’s time to be more strategic about the selection of materials for each job. This one-hour webinar from Transtar will teach you exactly how to do that.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to enhance and protect your critical assets using industrial coatings.
  • How to evaluate vehicles and repairs to optimize materials selection.
  • How Transtar’s Paladin system is used to increase profitability while still meeting insurer, shop and customer KPIs.
