Strongsville, Ohio — In response to the ever-increasing popularity of vehicle customizing, street rods and one-off designer motorcycles, PPG Automotive Refinish has expanded its training schedule for the 4th quarter to include a host of hands-on, professional custom painting courses.

The base course of the custom paint curriculum is PPG’s Vibrance CollectionProducts course offering instruction on how to create one-of-a-kind finishes, using the Vibrance Collection special effect pigments, candy dyes, tints and pre-formulated custom colors such as PPG’s new Hot Wheels Spectraflame formulas. The two-day course includes the hands-on opportunity for participants to apply what they learned and create special effects panels.

Also offered in PPG’s training schedule are several courses demonstrating custom airbrush techniques, such as the Real Fire class that teaches how to create the look of real flames. A Custom Radiance II course is ideal for those who want to learn how to create the dazzle of candy apple-type finishes.

Those interested in attending a PPG custom painting course can obtain more information by visiting www.ppgrefinish.com.
