Technology with the potential to change the auto-refinishing industry – on par with the introduction of the spray gun 75 years earlier – is in the hands of collision repair students at Penn College, thanks to the generosity of a longtime corporate partner. PPG Industries Automotive Refinish, a major equipment and training contributor to the college’s School of Transportation Technology, recently donated an Envirobase High Performance waterborne-coatings system to the collision repair program in College Avenue Labs. “PPG is one of the premier industries in collision repair refinishing, and its generous donation of cutting-edge, water-based refinishing technology will enhance our students’ overall learning to a professional level,” said Michael R. Bierly, a member of the college’s collision repair faculty. “Our students will be able to enter the workforce with a whole new technology and be ready to apply it.”
