2012 second quarter training sessions
are designed for collision repair
industry professionals seeking

their field. Courses will be offered

Through a variety of classroom, web,
and hands-on settings at numerous
metropolitan Sherwin-Williams
Automotive Finishes training centers;
shop owners, managers, and painters can
learn intensive business-building,
production-excellence, and application
techniques.
The following courses will be conducted
during the second quarter:
- Estimating solutions for profit
- Painter certification
- Color adjustment and blending
- AWX® waterborne systems
According to Rod Habel, Sherwin-
Williams Automotive Finishes Director
of Training Operations, many of the new
classes directly relate to the
Sherwin-Williams philosophy of helping
customers through ‘lean thinking’ –
introducing concepts that support
sustainable practices – which increases
productivity while minimizing or often
eliminating waste. In particular,
increased training courses on the
company’s fast-drying, easy to mix and
apply AWX waterborne system which
provides excellent color match, quick
flash times between coats and doesn’t
require a baking cycle.
Habel also notes that Sherwin-Williams
will now be offering several classes
available for prep technicians as well
as fleet finishers, the latter
including demonstrations of its new
Genesis® LV single stage system and
Genesis® G4 premium basecoat system.
