TRAINING CENTER
A well-trained painter leads to greater productivity, higher quality workmanship, and less application errors.
Technical training is the best investment you can make in your paint team.
Auto Industrial Color realizes that your profitability starts with performance-based trained technicians.
Our state-of-the-art training center includes a fully functional downdraft spray booth attached to the classroom.
- The training center allows instructors to provide a unique hands-on learning experience in the spray booth equipped to apply either solvent or waterborne paint.
- Each painter will train by spraying on automotive shells, not just panels, to learn how AkzoNobel paint systems perform while actually blending and painting body contours.
- With the proper training, painters improve their productivity because they learn the problem-solving skills they need to work effectively and efficiently in a safe and healthy work environment.
AIC partners with major suppliers throughout the year to ensure that your paint technicians and management staff are kept current with the latest product developments and technological innovations. We know what they need to produce exceptional results while keeping an eye on the bottom line.
