August 2, 2013—PPG Automotive Refinishes recently announced that it now has 5,000 subscribers of its PaintManager software color retrieval and management program that have chosen to use the Internet instead of traditional CD releases to update their systems.
“Getting fast and accurate color and program updates is critical, and we are very pleased to see our customers embracing this online option to enhance their PaintManager software,” said Mary Kimbro, global color director of PPG.
The PaintManager software delivers color formulas targeted to match OEM colors and manages the paint mixing operation through touch screen technology that can be configured to meet the needs of any distributor or collision center.
“With PaintManager software, shops are getting fast network access to color information, new products and program improvements. Equally important, they’re getting the data that keeps their managers and technicians aware of all aspects of the repair business,” Kimbro said.
